Quote - As you may have picked up, there's no love lost between the author of the original RTEncoder, and the Java lookalike...

EnglishBob, thanks for giving me a much needed laugh!

I wrote RTEJava because I wanted a utility like the original that would run on my old Mac G3 (Mac OS 8.6) and on my future Mac OS X  box (which turned out to be a Win XP laptop!).

I tried to establish a good working relationship with the author of the original, and intended to heap much praise upon both him and his app; unfortunately, he chose to view my version as a competitor, at which point the "no love lost " relationship was born.
