Re: Recovering corrupted FrameMaker SGML 5.5.6 files

[Thomas Neuburger <thomasn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Robert,

Just a thought -- since you're on Unix, run a head command on these files 
and on known good files. Make sure the first lines are the same.

About forcing, no, but you might try cutting an increasingly longer tail 
off the file until you find the largest piece that -will- open.

Presumably, your main interest is in recovery and you've checked your 
backups, etc., for the most recent recoverable data. Most of the time, this 
kind of corruption occurs because of a "bad save" and there's some recent 
backup that will get the project going again. It's hard to imagine how data 
insertion occurred, except manually.

Best,

Tom Neuburger
