I'm sorry I mislead you in an earlier post, but it does.  The version 
currently in the wxWidgets' Subversion repository doesn't...

A. wxWidgets Subversion tex2rtf - can build against a stock version of 
the wxWidgets 2.8.7 build; *cannot* build against an STL enabled of the 
wxWidgets build like the one used with Jazz++.

B. Jazz++ Subversion tex2rtf - can build against an STL enabled of the 
wxWidgets build like the one used with Jazz++; *cannot* build against a 
stock version of the wxWidgets 2.8.7 build.

Either version can be used to process our jazz.tex file.

Let me work on that...

I just wanted to explain that the version in our subversion does require 
wxWidgets to be built using our STL enabled build.
