It was because other RISC OS apps weren't exporting top-bit set 
characters in RTF properly. 'ansiacorn' fixes that and allows the 
broken RTF files to be used into EasiWriter. The RTF export from 
Citation is a good example, so 'ansiacorn' is still proving very 
useful. (There's an FAQ on this.)

Fixing RTF is a different thing. Thanks v much for that, it's 
appreciated.
