RTF stands for Rich Text Format.
It basically is a text file with some added embedded commands for fonts, bold, underline etc.
It can be easily read by any text editor, and the additional commands can be stripped out !
After due consideration, Phil Burk and Mike Haas decided this was the easiest format for most people to use. It was released without modifications.
I decided, quite early on, that the paragraphs and layout were hard on the eye, and not conducive to learning by budding programmers.
I therefore changed the layout, predominantly on spacing to make things look clearer and more easily read, and therefore understood.
I'm sure some people won't like 'my' version !
But they are welcome to adjust the manual themselves to their own style.
A lot of work is still being done on the manual, mainly :-
