- FixDoc -
FixDoc is a utility that will try to recover corrupt Professional Page v1.3
documents that cause the "Can't Understand Format String" requester to
appear in PPage when attempting to load the file.
FixDoc can take one or two parameters. The first parameter is the name of
the corrupted document. The second (optional) parameter is the name of the
desired output filename. If you don't provide the second parameter, FixDoc
will try to write the fixed document to a file called
"RAM:FixedDocument.ppage".
e.g. Assume you have a corrupted file named DOCUMENT1.PPAGE on your hard
drive. Let's also assume your hard drive is called WORK:.
Then you would type:
FIXDOC WORK:DOCUMENT1.PPAGE
This would correct your document and send the corrected copy into
RAM:FixedDocument.ppage
If you type:
FIXDOC WORK:DOCUMENT1.PPAGE DF0:MYFILE
This will copy the corrected document to the internal floppy (DF0:) and
call it "MYFILE".
You will notice messages appearing on your screen. The 'PTXT found'
messages just means that FixDoc has found some text in the input file.
'Altering' means that the text was 'damaged' and is now being corrected.
If FixDoc doesn't fix your file, contact Gold Disk's Technical Support
department. (We may need to see a copy of your document.)
