Try using Word97 to open the RTF file, set up a generic postscript printer
(or, better yet, the correct printer driver for the destination printer),
assign it to FILE: instead of a real port (like LPT1:) and use Word97 to
print the document.  Take the file and copy it across the network to a
system with access to the printer.  Use MS-DOS COPY command with the /B
option to copy the file to the printer, or to a print queue.  The /B
forces the copy to binary mode, otherwise, it will stop at the first
control-Z character encountered.
