I have a critical Appleworks2.2 word-pro. doc. that is corrupted.
I can not open it , even as a text file in Jumpstart . I get
directory error $51 and error block $2D . The file can't be
copied as a file , only as part of the entire disk . (It's
on a 3.5) I also got I/O error on block $6920 . I thought
3.5 only had 1600 blocks ?!?! I tried to view the file as text
and as hex in CopyII+9.1 no dice . I used the disk mapping
utility and the file itself is fragmented all over the disk.
I used GS/OS to get info and it still gives valid info
(ie 16.5k , type , etc) . How can some info still be there and
the rest not(ie the text itself) . This is a critical file
for a local business . The apple dealer has NO tools to 
help his customers , so I'm the last resort . HELP.

P.S. sorry about the previous posting , I had a system problem .
