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.

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
geowrite2rtf supports:
- font size
- styles: underline, bold, reverse, italics, outline, superscript, subscript

geowrite2rtf discards:
