  I've isolated (and corrected) the bus(s--there were 2) in fixrtf. Version
3.1 is now available at the usual nova.cc.pursdue.edu and cs.ordt.edu.

  You wouldn't believe the bugs--I was doing a scanf for a hex number but 
left out the width specifier--after all, I only wanted 2 digits! I was getting
some pretty huge array indices, let me tell you!
  The other bug was just wasting loop time. Used a subscript instead of the
actual array cell in a comparison.

  Oh, these embarrasing typos and other minor errors....

  [Hey, it worked for the test files! Just goes to show, try it on real
data before you ship--"\'d2failure" was registering as an ascii escape with
hex value d2fa! This is so embarrassing!  ;-)]
