    BTW forcing an *.html extension here may seem not quite
appropriate... Probably better *.doc and -force_html.

    Bingo! Note well that have *.doc app/msword really contain RTF is a
feature. One of those sophisticated and top-logical features making MS
reputation so high. It happens frequently here too. :-(

    Solution: Use a viewer able to cope with both (real) DOC and RTF. Or
craft a script using the /file/ command to call either the DOC viewer or
the RTF one.


Bye!    Alain.
