Hi John. Human readable text has been around for a while but I guess
not in the last release. It's in the CVS version and there's been talk
of Windows nightly builds but I'm not sure if we actually have them yet.

Well they should look different - especially for nontrivial documents.
RTF is plain text underneath too so you can run it through diff or
WinDiff or such which will tell you whether they differ and how.

I admit I found this bug using a debugger when I was programming my
own importer and exporter so it may not be immediately obvious to
non-geeks (: Thanks for checking it out!
