Dear all

I'm a Windows newbie trying to make use of latex2rtf. I downloaded 
latex2rtf from sourceforge and installed it on my machine (everything 
went fine, I believe). However, I found two problems with running 
latex2rtf. I'm not sure if these problems are a problem with me as a 
user or if these are bugs that might be interesting to the developser. I 
therefore post this message to both mailing lists.


1. My machine is wired to our comany network. All user files are 
synchronised to a network volume, and they are accessed through their 
path on this network volume. Running latex2rtf with files on this 
network volume gives an error:

CMD does not support UNC paths as current directories

If I copy the latex file to my desktop (which is accessed locally), 
latex2rtf works fine.


2. I tried to convert equations to bitmap graphics instead of RTF code. 
This gave an error saying that ImageMagick had a problem. I realised 
that I did not have ImageMagic on my machine, so I installed it using 
the following file:

http://www.imagemagick.org/download/binaries/ImageMagick-6.3.3-4-Q16-windows-dll.exe

I believe this helped, but I get a new error:

Can someone help me to fix the above problems?
