Ted is an old but handy little package for manipulating text files.
Some modern distributions still retain it in their repositories.
Installation
(Assumption: the ‘RPM Development Tools’ group has been installed, and from the
command line, rpmdev-setuptree)
From the Ted website, download ted-2.23-1.src.rpm
Two-step build:
rpm -ivh ted-2.23-1.src.rpm
(Install required pre-build packages) sudo yum install
gtk2-devel libXpm-devel libjpeg-turbo-devel libpaper-devel libtiff-devel pcre-devel make
From /home/user/rpmbuild/SPECS, rpmbuild -bb ted-2.23-1.spec
From /home/user/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64, ted-2.23-1.x86_64.rpm can be locally installed.

Is it this one: https://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/editors/ted/TedDocument-en_US.html?
I see they also have some lang-packs, and a few conversion scripts (rtf2<foo>.sh), that could be useful anyway. 
I think I’ll try Ted later. Been looking for an RTF editor. I’ve used Abiword for that before - which is nice, but have its quirks.

Hi efdevse:
Yes, that’s the right location.
Near the bottom of the .html there is a link to the src.rpm, which when clicked, will download it.
