GORRIEDE@UREGINA1.BITNET (Dennis Robert Gorrie) (12/18/89)
I just got the upgrade notice for CygnusED from ASDG. Not a bad xmas present.
In the meantime, can anyone tell me how to get rid of these CygnusEdTempA.576
files that were left on my hard disk when I crashed the computer while editing
something? I try to delete them but I always get a file not found error,
no matter what program I try to use to delete them. I was going to destroy the
dir blocks with SECTORAMA but I don't think it works the same on FFS.
Is there anything short of a DOS format to get these files from the 'un-dead'
off my hard disk?
P.S. Is there an FTP site that has a text file containing the entire fish
disk list and content descriptions? All in a single text file?
....thanks

Did you try 'delete cygnusedtemp#?' or check the protection bits? I had a file or two left like that after a crash, and got rid of them fairly easily. Can't remember how though. -larry -- "Cavett Emptor - Let the talk show host beware!" - Evan Marcus +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | // Larry Phillips | | \X/ lphillips@lpami.wimsey.bc.ca -or- uunet!van-bc!lpami!lphillips | | COMPUSERVE: 76703,4322 -or- 76703.4322@compuserve.com | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+

Funny how you and I get the same problems. Must have something to do with the name, eh? First getting diddled by Abel and now this. I had the same problem with the creation and inability to delete some of those "CygnusEdTempA.xxx" files. I tried a lot of things over several months and ended up reformatting my hard drive to get rid of them. I got my problem files a different way than you did though. I got them when I shut down the system quickly after saving CED files. I note that when saving a file my hard drive has disk activity, then pauses, then has a little more activity (maybe 1.5 seconds) then pauses, then has about a half a second of activity. If I saved the file and shut the machine off before the final burst, I would get the problem files. Good luck in getting rid of yours. :) -- Ernie Gorrie 9431 McBurney Drive, Richmond, B.C.

I seem to remember the docs to Disk Mechanic saying something about one of DiskRepair's functions being able to re-build the hash table. Never had a need to try it out, though, thankfully! -=> CAW /////////////////////////////////////\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Christopher A.
