Keywords: Corrupted Appleworks files
I'm trying to repair a corrupted database file (which contains important
information for an upcoming honor band here at the University) and am
interested in suggestions of software which would help to restore the
file header.
The problem which is encountered with the 46 K appleworks database file
is that Appleworks says "This file exceeds the limits of Appleworks on
this Apple II." We have tried it on a machine with over 170K available
and also one which says 46K available. It works on neither one.
Any suggestions for an approach or a particular package that might restore
it?
Thanks in advance!

I also believe it's available from Quality Computers. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong; they do when I'm not wrong. :) (And if this works, you're obligated to send me the name of the clinician and the program for the concert(s) in mail.) -- ============================================================================ Matt Deatherage, Apple Computer, Inc. | "The opinions represented here are Developer Technical Support, Apple II | not necessarily those of Apple Group.
