It aborts the read with the message "Error in Datafile". Copying this data file to another disk is also aborted with the finder message "some files are not readable and are skipped". I have the feeling that the file is truncated. What is the best way to repair such a file? Are there programs which can do that? Thanks in advance for any info. Hans Mulder ARPA: hans@shasta.arpa
