- I don't know a thing about the error number. A similar situation has happened to
- me before. I would open the stack and then do a new stack with the same
- background. Write a handler to export the contents of your A-l cards and your n
- - z cards just so that you'll have a stack that works.
-
- From the original stack, I would delete the cards a-l and n-z. Then try to print
- stack ince only the M cards will remain. If it prints the cards then you have
- your data available in case you have to go and fat finger it into the new
- uncorrupted stack.
-
- Once upon a time on America Online I found a file named "Stack Repair". It
- worked on my problem. A friend tried it with a different problem and it didn't
- work. I'd try to fix it before converting though instead of trying to fix a
- stack thatmay or may not have converted correctly.
