    Description

      When an RTF doc embeds a doc it looks like this:

      {\object\objemb
      \objw628\objh765{\*\objclass Package}{\*\objdata 0105000002000000080000005061636b61676500000000000000000066000000
      020048772e74787400433a5c444f43554d457e315c6967616c73685c4465736b746f705c48572e747874000000030022000000433a5c444f43554d457e315c6967616c73685c4465736b746f705c48572e747874000b00000048656c6c6f20576f726c64000001050000050000000d0000004d45544146494c455049435400
      54040000bbfaffffee0000000800540445050000
      0100090000037300000002001c0000000000050000000b0200000000050000000c02320029001c000000fb02f5ff000000000000900100000001000000005461686f6d61000055170a7000fc070058b1f37761b1f3772040f57749366683040000002d01000005000000090200000000050000000102ffffff0005000000
      020101000000050000002e0106000000090000002105060048772e747874210015001c000000fb021000070000000000bc02000000000102022253797374656d00004936668300000a0026008a0100000000ffffffff8cfc0700040000002d010100030000000000}
      

      But, unfortunately, the format of those hex bytes is not spelled out
      in the RTF spec ... the spec merely says the bytes are saved by the
      OLESaveToStream function ... and I haven't been able to find a
      description of what the bytes mean.

      In this case they are a "Package object" (\objclass Package), which I
      think is an [old?] way to wrap any non-OLE file (this is just a .txt
      file).

      Here's the hex dump:

      Anyway I have no idea how to decode the bytes at this point ... just
      opening the issue in case anyone else does!
