Well, I tried it, and it doesn't work either :(  I don't know what's
going on, but its bizarre.  There are 4 different types of rockwell
formats, and I tried them all, just to be sure, however vgetty reports
(when playing the origonal sample that works) that it is Rockwell 2
bit.  When I use pvftormd Rockwell 2 test hello, it works, and the new
file is the same size as it was before (that is, the origonal "hello"
rmd and the new hello(rmd) -> hello(pvf) ->hello(rmd) are the same
size).

All I get is what sounds like extremely loud static with the new rmd
:(.  Is it possible that this .rmd is somehow not a standard rockwell 2
bit rmd file????  I can send it to you as a test, if you want.
