Implementing T87 support would be a nightmare. QL2PC tries to convert
T91 files to rtf, but the process is very uncertain. For fonts, T87 just
puts a NUL wherever a font change occurs, and then lists the changes at
the different offsets in the formatting information. Unfortunately, when
you alter a file, stray NULs get left behind: T87 ignores them, but they
confuse QL2PC terribly. When I converted my T91 files to OpenOffice, I
had to take them over as plain text and reformat. And that's just fonts
-- heaven knows what T87 does with its paragraph and page information.
And don't bother to ask Fred!
