Subject: New project - an RTF library

I am in the process of creating a RTF mangling library to read and 
create RTF files under Ruby based on Peter Seagents(?) Perl module call 
RTF::Tokenizer.

It's early days but presently it can take an RTF file apart and create a 
stream of tokens that is a byte for byte copy of the Perl version (for 
the few RTF documents that I have to hand).

The next step is to reassemble the stream of tokens back into a valid 
RTF document (mid next week perhaps).

Just a few questions..

1) Is anyone else working on an RTF library so we dont waste the effort.
2) Does anyone have a vision of how a larger RTF Document Creator 
library would be used. What features would people want.
3) Would anyone object to me reserving the name rtf_tools for this library.

Nice to have something to program once in a while.
