Indexing .rtf files

[sduncan]

We purchased Webinator and the PDF/DOC extension and I am running an index on a site that has .rtf documents as well. I added .rtf to the list of file extensions and rewalked the site, but it seems that these files are not seen.

Am I missing something or does the system only understand word/wordperfect files but not rtf files?

The files should be seen and show up under "List/Edit URLs" at least, unless they are excluded by some other setting. To handle RTF content you need to make a small addition to the dowalk script. That extension is not handled specially there. In the <a name=doplugin> function find the line like
<case "doc"><dofilt opt="-fmsw" dt="MSWord"><return>
add a line below it like
<case "rtf"><dofilt opt="-fother" dt="RTF"><return>
