[comp.os.cpm] Help with pcfile

I reciently got pcfile from Simtel.  I entered about 260 records into it.  I
decided it was about time to backup my data.  But, I would sort the data first.
You guessed it.  I hung during the sort.  I had sorted the file at about 150
records and it worked.  I cold booted and re-entered pcfile.  It hangs just
before giving me the menu.

I have tried copying all three files; still hangs on the copy.  I have tried
creating a new data base which I can access.  I have replaced the .inx and
.hdr files with the one that works; it still hangs.  I have tried reading 
the .dta and .hdr files with type & dump; they look fine.

Does anyone have an idea what the problem could be?  The data appears ok.
I just can't get to it with pcfile.
