Interested? Yes
Capable? Alas, at the present a very sad no. C looks like hieroglyphs 
compared the near-english Pick-Basic Database Language I use: I can read 
and recognize some the C words, but the C syntax is confusing.

Would anyone happen to know of a tutorial program on the internet from 
which I could learn the necessary C syntax in order to develop the rtf 
importer/exporter?
A download link perhaps?
Until now, I have never had a need or reason to learn C.

Yes, I will do that if someone would explain to me how to do that.
I have a couple of HTML tutorials circa msOffice97

Thanks, Tracey
