Part of protector (http://protector.sourceforge.net)
By Chris Lowth, (protector@lowth.com)

Synopsis

  check_rtf filename

check_rtf checks an RTF format document to verify its safety following "protector's" paradigm. It checks for a consistent format (very crudely), and that the document contains no attachment. A future enhancement is planned that will extract attachments for checking.

The program displays the results of it's checks as a message that is easy for the protector "part_filter" to decode. The possible result strings are..

Message	Description
replace_with cant_read_decoded	An error has occurred opening or reading the document.
replace_with rtf_bad_structure	The internal format of the document is inconsistent or corrupted.
replace_with rtf_contains_objects	The document contains attachments which cant be extracted or checked.
allow_unchanged	The file format is valid and it contains no sub-objects. In short: it's safe to deliver.
