I guess I was using an outdated version of latex2rtf (I used the one  
in MacPorts, with tetex) because I cannot make the svn version fail  
now. IIRC there was a problem when specifying punctuation other that  
the default in \bibpunct. latex2rtf used to always output (SomeName,  
2000; SomeOtherName, 2004) instead of what was specified in bibpunct.
Anyway, that seems fixed now, which is a good thing.

I see that. I usually rely on utf coded characters for accents only  
(I try to use latex code for other symbols) and it seems to work fine  
indeed. That's another great news.

Current svn apparently converts latex equations to rtf indeed but,  
when they get a bit interesting (sums, fractions etc.) I cannot view  
them in either TextEdit, Pages or even NeoOffice. While thats not  
surprising for TextEdit and Pages, I would expect NeoOffice to be  
better. I seems I'll have to install MS Word in the end. Gasp.

Thanks for pointing the improvements in the latest version.
