Supplied with wxWindows is a utility called Tex2RTF for converting\rtfsp
Help RTF formats. Tex2RTF is used for the wxWindows manuals and can be used independently
by authors wishing to create on-line and printed manuals from the same\rtfsp
\LaTeX\ source. Please see the separate documentation for Tex2RTF.

+You can find it under {\tt utils/tex2rtf}.
\item[{\bf Helpgen}]
Helpgen takes C++ header files and generates a Tex2RTF-compatible
documentation file for each class it finds, using comments as appropriate.
This is a good way to start a reference for a set of classes.

-Dialog Editor allows interactive construction of dialogs using
-absolute positioning, producing WXR output files. This tool is generally deprecated
-in favour of sizer-based tools. You can find Dialog Editor

\subsection{Use wxWindows resource files}
-Use .wrc (wxWindows resource files) where possible, because they can be easily changed
-independently of source code. Bitmap resources can be set up to load different
-kinds of bitmap depending on platform (see the section on resource files).
+Use .xrc (wxWindows resource files) where possible, because they can be easily changed
+independently of source code.
