I'm trying to help out a friend who got some stacks they can't open (they get messages something like 'can'y open background 3524', and so the entire stack becomes inaccessable. Is there some utility that can repair such a problem (maybe replacing the bad background with a blank one, for instance?). I thought I had seen something like this on the nets many months ago, but I can't remember what is was called. Thanks for the help! -John Lawler

I think you can ftp it from various places - at least here in Finland, Vaasa (chyde.uwasa.fi). I haven't really used it (luckily I haven't had such problems yet) but I hope it helps. -- Harri Valkama : email: hv@chyde.uwasa.fi (internet) Computer Centre, University of Vaasa : valkama@finfun (bitnet) P.O.BOX 700 : voice: +358 61 248426 SF-65101 VAASA FINLAND : site: 128.214.12.3
