unrtf - convert rtf files to: text, html, or latex

From the manpage:

ame
UnRTF - converts document in RTF format to other formats
Synopsis
unrtf [options] [file...]
Options: [--nopict] [--html] [--text] [--vt] [--latex] [--help] [--verbose] [--version]
Description

The program unrtf is a converter from Rich Text Format (RTF) to a growing number of document formats. At present it supports Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), plain text, text with VT100 codes, and LaTeX . All output formats except HTML are "alpha" i.e. limited and development has just begun. However with HTML, the program supports tables, fonts, hyperlinks, and paragraph alignment. Font support includes face and size changes, as well as typical attributes such as italic, bold, underlining, strikethrough, smallcaps, allcaps, expand, compress and both foreground and background colors. Images are always stored to separate files in the current directory, or they can be ignored

I compiled the following slackbuild package in Fatdog 810b
unrtf-0.21.1-x86_64-2_SBo.tgz

I'm testing out various tools that can convert documents (mostly office documents) to text (see post) for purposes of indexing (see post) and searching my file system. This is one such tool.
