Try here:

..seems like a simple, brute-force solution. I'm sure there are a lost of
CLI programs for tex/postscript conversion that handle RTF, too. One of
those things I always see, but pass over because I don't need them - then
when the topic comes up, I've forgotten the details...

There's also a Perl RTF module which can at least covert RTF to HTML.
Details are at:

RTF-Parser-1.07.readme

Hope this helps...

Nick
