MicroSoft Word will convert them if they are in RFT format.
WordPort does a better job of converting RFT to DOC
than MSWord does.
If you need the files to remain on the iSeries and be
accessable via RPG, Seacrest Business Systems'
DeskMaster converts RFT to a set of physical files
(one for header info, one for detail) and from there
can be manupulated by your own programs.

The usual not associated, YMMV, etc.
