Re: bugs

Hello,
(I'm writing in English because I also post this to the mailing list but

generally, you expect too much from latex2rtf. Please note that latex2rtf 
is NOT a fullblown TeX interpreter but only supports a limited subset, as 
written in the documentation.

Latex2rtf cannot load packages at all. All supported LaTeX commands are 
hardcoded.

It's simply not (yet) implemented in latex2rtf.
