HELP!!!!!
I wanted to do a little hacking, with the library Dr. Wickes posted
recently. (Love the HYDE section, didn't think computers could do
drugs!) Anyway, before starting this, like a good little hacker, I
archived my memory with the procedure on page 34 of Jim Donnelly's book. 
(:IO:name ARCHIVE)

As luck would have it, in attempting to generate different types of
errors, I caused a system reset. When asked if I want to restore memory,
I replied yes. And, nothing was restored.

So, now I've got an empty calculator. No problem, I made an archive,
right?

I tried to restore, according to JD, to no avail. The procedure is as
follows:
1) xfer the file to the '48 just as any other file.
2) place file name on stack, and RCL. This SHOULD place
Backup HOMEDIR
on the stack.
3) execute RESTORE.

When I perform step 2, rather then getting 'Backup HOMEDIR' on the
stack, I get a string, which appears as "HPHP48-Ab+`<xxHOM...
(where < is the angle sign, and x's are block chars.)
I can't edit this, because the string contains null chars. I get this
string weather I download in ascii or binary. (Yes, I am setting the
appropriate file type in C-Kermit.)

Any suggestions/ideas? I'm desperate. Email may (or may not) reach me
at "heilpern@ironics.com", which is really a uucp connection, which
should route to uunet!uupsi!heilpern.

Please reply soon!    PS, I've got the sparcom EE Aplications pak on
back order, and will post a review of it once I've had time to play.
