Thank you for the information, Patricia.  If you need a copy of the file for 
test purposes, let me know

One of the changes for 4.1.4 is supposed to tighten validation of doc 
files. Unfortunately, I made a mistake in the version that went into 
RC1, and it gets false positives.


The problem should be fixed in RC2.

As this ML will strip attachments I won't attach it; I have his permission to 
make it available to anyone interested.  If you would like to examine it, 
please email me for a copy.

DOC file not opening on 4.1.4

[Rory O'Farrell]

Forum volunteer John_Ha has sent me a DOC file that will open with 4.1.3 (and 
AbiWord) but gives a "Read-Error: This is not a WinWord 97 file" error on 4.1.4 
RC1.  A quick inspection suggests that the first 50 or so bytes of the file are 
as they should be for a "good" DOC file. 

As this ML will strip attachments I won't attach it; I have his permission to 
make it available to anyone interested.  If you would like to examine it, 
please email me for a copy.
