I need some information on how to read lost files created with WriteNow. I am responsible for a number of Macs at our department. Occasionally someone loses a file (corrupt disk etc. etc.). I use SUM to recover the files and then comes the problem. How do I read a WriteNow file ???. I can set the CREATOR and TYPE so that WriteNow thinks it's a normal file, but when I try to read the file WriteNow bombs. I try to set TYPE to TEXT and then uses to Nisus to read the file. When the file comes up there are a lot of hidden characters (I can remove them easily) but the TEXT is mixed and copied and ... i.e. I can't use it since I haven't got the time to search through all this text to find the latest version of a certain paragraph. What is the best way to read a lost WriteNow file that have been recovered. Jan Erik Mostr|m jem@sm.luth.se Univ. of Lulea,Sweden (Bitnet: jem%sm.luth.se@sekth.bitnet)
