Introduction
RTFSyntax is an application for programmers that provides a service to
color syntax highlight rich text.  By color syntax highlighting, I
mean automatically changing the color and font of the selected rich
text using regular expressions previously defined in RTFSyntax.  For
example, you can use this program to make all of your Objective-C
comments appear in red Helvetica 12-point italics.  Because you define
what you want colored using regular expression, you can completely
customize how your RTF code looks.

Motivation
With NEXTSTEP 3.2, Edit and cc(1) now support RTF.  You can utilize
RTF in your source files by creating links from one file to another,
and also by changing the fonts and colors to make the code easier to
read.  This program automates the latter.
