RTF is a binary construct. I think it depends on what you understand
as "equal". Does that mean, each byte is the same like in the other file?
Or the contents (text)?
If it is the content, you should compare the SAS data, which lead to the
RTF files.
If it is binray, I think there are several free- or shareware tools to do
that. In SAS? Maybe you could read the RTF as raw-file in a SAS file with
one variable. Then you could use PROC COMPARE. Don't know, if that works.
