I just want to make a public statement that Lutz Vieweg has indeed supplied 
me with a version of RF which incorporates a CRC check.  Obviously, this
version is probably not compatible with the archives from the old version
of RF.

I haven't had time to check it out (seriously, I'm really busy these days),
but here it is for those who want to give it a try.  

Please let me know how you make out, and I will get back to Lutz.  I don't
think he reads this group very often.

Regards,

P.S.  This is BETA software, so make sure you have a backup of your
machine handy before trying this.
