Isn't Word 6 format a glorified RTF format?
I think it was the first Windows version of MS Word to include RTF
among the formats supported.
No, RTF goes back to the earliest days of Word-for-DOS.
But RTF was not its native output which was still called “.doc”. I
don’t know what you mean by “glorified”.
I seem to recall /a/ release of Word that used RTF format for its .doc
files. Rumor that it that it was an emergency workaround to make ship
date.
