Wilfried,

I spent a couple of hours tonight applying patches that had been 
contributed
and fixing bugs that have been submitted to SourceForge.  It is about 
time to
think about a new latex2rtf release.

Do you (or anyone else) have any blockers or must have features?
I can only think of some documentation updates and some release notes.
Scott

Changes since last release:

*** Added %latex2rtf: as an interpreted comment.  Now you can include 
text that
     is only intended to be parsed by the latex2rtf converter.  Thanks to
     m-code at linden dash sahani dot net for this support.

*** Applied patch from William A. Perkins to better support -D with eps 
graphics

*** Fix bug ocurring when \cite includes TeX comments

*** Fix for COMMENTS Fields

*** WH: added documentation for l2rshell

*** enable REF fields to be suppressed (use -f2)
     this should allow OpenOffice to have the right numerical references
     even if they are no longer dynamic.

*** Read optional field for fancyhdr

*** Removing qualisex.aux from CVS

*** add test/subsup.tex to Makefile

*** Add even() and odd() utility functions to clarify code

     Remove extraneous whitespace from fonttbl for greater RTF 
portability

*** Allow commands to be used within fancyhdr macros

*** WH: added test/qualisex.aux (latex2rtf complained about it)
     note: qualisex.aux may be not correct as I don't have french.sty 
and I ran LaTeX
     with a modified qualisex.tex ( \usepackage[french]{babel} instead of
     \usepackage{a4,french} )

*** support \cite in natbib

*** WH: added doc/latex2rtf.html, doc/latex2rtf.txt and 
doc/latex2rtf.pdf (needed by make install)

     Slightly better message when color.sty is used.
