SILConverters 4.0
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
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.
Shoebox Utilities
A set of command line utilities designed to enhance the power of SIL’s Shoebox and Toolbox applications by providing non-trivial generic tools that work with Shoebox files. The utilities cover such issues as data conversion, file merging, typesetting and even version control.
