Subject:	[geda-user] PCB file corrupt? Need help
X-Enigmail-Version:	1.4.6
Reply-To:	geda-user AT delorie DOT com

  Hi folks.  I ended up with a situation in which I logged out of my
desktop machine and I hadn't saved my PCB file.  When I ran PCB on the
file, I expected to find it in its last known state.  It wasn't,
however...to my horror, the editing window came up completely blank.  It
saved a file with a hyphen at the end of the filename.  That one is
blank too.  In fact, the only difference between these two is the saved
cursor position.

  A cursory glance at the .pcb file doesn't turn up anything immediately
obvious.

  There were a lot of changes between my last backup and this (as of the
last save) version, and it would be pretty catastrophic to lose them.

  I am in a bit of a panic.  Can anyone help?

             Thanks,
             -Dave
