- ... and then again.... I've heard a few disquieting reports of ReOrg not doing it's job right --
- or doing it too good, depending on how one looks at it. Files that were good before
- ReOrg got them were no longer useable. Even text files have been trashed. I have *not* gotten
- the particulars on what version (I just checked, I have *two* on my BBS), but as usual it
- appears caution is the watchword. :-(
-
- Anyone else hear of this? I've had two verified reports from both No. and SoCal, and the people
- reporting it included the re-org`ed files and the backups of the originals. The originals were the
- same size as the reorganized ones, but the ReOrged ones were not useable. This did not happen to
- all files, but a sufficient number to send off alarm bells.
