FIX FOR DAMAGED APPLEWORKS DATABASE FILES:
JWe've been hearing a lot about a bug in AppleWorks that damages data base K
Ifiles under certain conditions. Apparently the file gets damaged if you F
Dtry to save it back onto the disk it came from and get the message, M
K"Insufficient room for your file on this disk. Is it OK to delete the old
copy?"
KIf you answer 'YES' to the question and save the data base (or if the data /
base does not fit), you risk losing the file.
Here's a fix that we wrote with a little help from Randy Brandt.
IFirst, get to BASIC. Next, insert your data disk containing the damaged
file and type this as shown:
BLOAD <filename>,TADB,A8192,B0,L$100
POKE 8230,n&
BSAVE <filename>,TADB,A8192,B0,L$100
ASubstitute the name of your file for the word <filename>. Also, N
Lsubstitute a number from 1 to 8 in place of the 'n' in the POKE statement. I
GThis number should reflect the number of report formats you had in the K
Idata base. If you don't remember how many you had, try a number and see M
Kif it works. If not, try the next number and so on until you're tried all K
I8 numbers. Of course, you'll have to attempt to read the data base into
AppleWorks to see if it works.
KIf nothing works, then your damaged database was not caused by the reasons *
listed here, and this fix will not help.
