It's time we generate a platform somewhere.

And more important: anybody can read them and you're not required to get
the latest M$Word version or viewer, if the file was created using a
more recent version of M$word as you have, 'cause RTF is generally
portable across M$word-versions.

And if you pass the right http-header you can instruct windows/your
browser to automagicaly open your favorite (or not) editor to open the
document right from the web.

Been there, done that. Works with other office-products (excel and CVS)
too, more or less (i.e. if you know which regionalized version is being
used.) 

But that's all beside the point.

I have complete RTF parser and writer code written in C that I am
willing to donate if anybody is willing to turn it into a PHP module.

BTW, if you just give a RTF document module the .doc extension, Word
will still be able to figure that it is a RTF file and reads it like
that. This means that you can generate easily ".DOC" files under
non-Windows OSes! :-)

It is in my thought. But I haven't begin programming yet!

I have only made some thoughts about it. Nothing programming yet. I have to 
much work right now. But I am very interested, so please contact me if want 
to go for the project. We make it together if you want to?
