geowrite2rtf

geowrite2rtf is a simple tool that converts a C64/C128 GEOS GeoWrite document in .CVT format into RTF format. The tool can optionally write HTML or plain-text as well, though at a loss of some or all formatting. This fork was created because the original version didn't work for me (formatted the page in a way that only 1 character could fit in a row) with the GeoWrite files that I created with GEOS65 (GEOS128 port for the MEGA65 computer) so the conversion was a bit simplified to have this fixed.

Use a tool like c1541 or DirMaster to extract the file from a D64/D71/D81/etc. disk image into a .CVT first.

Usage

  • First you need to extract the file from a D64/D71/D81 disk image into CVT format using either DirMaster for Windows, or the c1541 command line tool that ships with VICE:

    geosread dOCUMENT document.cvt

  • Then run geowrite2rtf like this to convert the CVT file to RTF:

    geowrite2rtf document.cvt document.rtf

Status

geowrite2rtf supports:

  • font size
  • styles: underline, bold, reverse, italics, outline, superscript, subscript
  • alignment: left, right, center, justified
  • insets
  • tab stops
  • line spacing

geowrite2rtf discards:

  • font faces
  • headers, footers
  • colors
  • page size
  • graphics
