Yep, a descendant of that rich text format.  I've done a quick and dirty 
conversion (ran the .rtf file through a REXX rtf->html convertor and then 
printed the html to a file.).  Pretty quick and dirty but should be somewhat 
readable -- the formatting even when I looked at the original .rtf stank.
Look for CIR33.TXT in the same area where you foung CIR33TXT.EXE.
