truncated file

[Caballero Carlo.Caballero@xxxxxxxx]

Dear List,
   I once knew how to solve this problem, but it has not come up for a
long time. Today, however, I was working away and XyWrite locked up (I
was scrolling while I had some distant text defined). I had to do a
"warm" reboot. When I returned to the file, both the original and the
"QUIT1.TMP" that XyWrite saved for me have the same problem: no data past
the second page of the file. The back-up version is rather old and I will
have lost data, so I'm hunting for a sweeter solution...
   I seem to recall that there is some trickiness with a false EOF
marker that can be removed through clever means. But I can't recall the
method. I appreciate any help.

Cheers,
Carlo
