Sql Server NTEXT fields

Folks,

        I've got a copy of Oracle's Gateway to Sql Server so that we can integrate data from a third party, mom & pop created application with other data stored in Oracle. This application has a number of NTEXT fields where comments and the like are being stored, but in Rich Text Format. Now from the manual:

        You cannot use SQL*Plus to select data from a column defined as Microsoft SQL

        Server data type IMAGE, TEXT or NTEXT when the data is greater than 80

        characters in length.

Anybody know how to strip the rtf stuff out especially from the Microsoft side??
