Off topic: RTF (Microsoft Word like) File Format



On dinner somebody asked about how he can present Word-like text files with embeded objects with his Delphi application for Windows. Well, please email a personal message to me because the file I got that fully describes the RTF format (which is supported by Word for Windows 6.0+ and Win95 WordPad) is kinda
large and I don't want to add network trafic for nothing.

I can also send you the MFC code of the Windows 95 WordPad application (!), but it will only compile under Visual C++ 4.0 or maybe Borland C++ 5.0. Delphi simply won't do. You can however, write it as a DLL or an external helper application and then integrate it with your project. It is allowed to write code in more than one language, as long as all the source code is included. 

Nevertheless, there may be some sort of support for Rich Text viewing/editing in Delphi 2.0. You'd better check it out.
