How to recover corrupted/lost .MEM files in V12:
V12 Version 12.1.5 and later
----------------------------
At the DOS prompt inside of the TM directory type:
1) MAGIC $$$ to create the TmMEM.MEM from the system
defaults.
2) MAGIC $$$- to create the TMmem$$$.MEM from the systems
defaults.
3) MAGIC $$$+ to create both the TmMEM.MEM and TMmem$$$.MEM
from the system defaults.
This is useful when the .MEM files have become corrupted or the system is
not working properly. There is no need to extract the files from the
Master Disks starting with 12.1.5 and later versions.
V12 Versions 12.1.4 and earlier
------------------------------
Replacing the TMmem$$$.mem File
-------------------------------
1) With earlier versions of V12 (12.1 to 121.1.4), there is an
unpacked copy of the TMMEM$$.MEM file on Disk #1. Copy it over
to their TM directory with:
* **
COPY A:\TMmem$$$.MEM C:\TM
(*/** see below)
2) If the Tmmem$$$.MEM on Disk #1 is corrupted or missing, it can be
extracted from the TmMISC.LZH file on Disk #2 of the 3.5 disks or
Disk #3 of the 5.25. TO do this:
CAUTION: Before starting this procedure we recommend you make
backups of the complete directory. You can backup to
diskettes or even just backup to a different directory by
making a new directory and copying all the files in the
TeleMagic directory.
A) Insert Master Disk #1 (3.5 or 5.25) into the floppy drive
and copy the lharc program to their TM directory by going
to the DOS prompt inside of their TM directory and typing:
*
COPY A:\lharc.exe
(* see below)
B) Now insert the Master Disk containing the TmMISC.lzh file
(Disk #2 of the 3.5 disks or Disk #3 of the 5.25) into
floppy drive and type:
*
Lharc x A:\TmMISC TMmem$$$.mem
This will extract the TMmem$$$.mem file from the
TmMISC.lzh file and place it into their TM directory. The
file is only one byte when it is first extracted. After
they log into TeleMagic the file will be updated and will
be the correct size.
CAUTION: Do not use the command `Lharc x A:\TMmisc *.mem'
because it will over write the TmINDEX.mem. If you
over write the TmINDEX.mem file you will lose all of
the User Defined Indexes. They will have to created
from scratch unless you have a backup of the
TmINDEX.mem.
Replacing the TmMEM.mem File
----------------------------
If the TmMEM.MEM on Disk #1 is corrupted or missing, it can be
extracted from the TMMISC.LZH file on Disk #2 of the 3.5 disks or
Disk #3 of the 5.25 Disks. To do this:
A) Insert Master Disk #1 (3.5 or 5.25) into the floppy drive
and copy the lharc program to their TM directory by going
to the DOS prompt inside of their TM directory and typing:
*
COPY A:\lharc.exe
(* see below)
B) Now insert the Master Disk containing the TMMISC.lzh file
into the floppy drive and type:
*
Lharc x A:\TMmisc TmMEM.mem
This will extract the TmMEM.mem file from the TmMISC.lzh
file and place it into their TM directory. The file is
only one byte when it is first extracted. After they log
into TeleMagic the file will be updated and will be the
correct size.
CAUTION: Do not use the command `Lharc x A:\TMmisc *.mem'
because it will over write the TmINDEX.mem. If you
over write the TmINDEX.mem file you will lose all of
the User Defined Indexes. They will have to created
from scratch unless you have a backup of the
TmINDEX.mem.
* This could be the B: drive depending on size disks they are
using and their hardware setup.
** Their path and directory name may differ, this assumes the default.
