SILConverters 3.1 Bob Eaton, Mark Penny, 2009-10-06; 56006 reads

This package provides tools through which you can change the encoding, font, and/or script of text in Microsoft Word and other Office documents, XML documents, and SFM text and lexicon documents. It also installs a system-wide repository to manage your encoding converters and transliterators (TECkit, CC, ICU, Perl, or Python-based, as well as support for adding custom transduction engines).

Converting RTF to SFM using RTF2SFM perl script Randy Hasty, 2004-04-15; 11192 reads

This tutorial is based on Bob Hallissy's RTF2SFM perl script. RTF2SFM is a useful tool for converting a styled Word .RTF file to UTF8-encoded SFM (Standard Format Marker). Unlike SFConv it correctly handles Unicode characters. This tutorial was written for an older version of RTF2SFM which required Perl 5.6.1. The newest version requires Perl 5.8.
