I am tryting to port the latex2rtf and rtf2latex programs from unix to
MS-DOS using DJGPP.
I have changed none of the source code or the makefile, other than to adhere
to the 8.3 file name limit. No problem compiling or using coff2exe.
x.tex is a copy of the internal.tex file that comes with the source
distribution. I was testing to see if I could convert it and compare it to
the internal.rtf file that comes with the source distribution.
I got the following error with latex2rtf (I have to name it latex2rt). It is
compiled with the DJPP GCC. I have broken the lines so they fit in email.
c:/tex/latex2rt/work/latex2rt.exe: ERROR: error in LaTeX-File: x.tex at
linenumber: 2
-> internal stack-overflow
program aborted
{\rtf1\pc\fs20\deff0\deflang1024{\stylesheet{\fs20\lang1031\snext0 Normal;}}

{\f3\fnil Arial;}{\f4\fnil LucidaHandwriting;}{\f5\fnil Symbol;}{\f6\fnil

I sent the error to the program's author and got the following response. How
does one track this down? If I can get my hands on Tex, I could then print
the documentation and perhaps find an explanation. (Hmmm, although my
internet host (a BSDI system) does not allow us to use the C compiler,
perhaps Tex is available, I'll have to check on that.)
