"-t rtf" with Word'97 version

Interesting ... I count exactly one space after \fldrslt in the RTF file
created on my machine (unmodified transcript below, hopefully reproduced
correctly through the mailer; I'll attach the transcript as an attachment
in a separate email directly to you (so we don't have 500 copies of the
attachment go out) in case it gets corrupted).

As is evidenced using the file JADE creates on my machine.

But not when it is running on my machine:

T:\FTEMP>jade -v
C:\PROGRA~1\JADE\JADECURR\JADE.EXE:I: Jade version "1.1"
C:\PROGRA~1\JADE\JADECURR\JADE.EXE:I: SP version "1.3"

Does the fact that it work on my machine lead anyone to answer what the
problem might be?
