Cookbook Trouble ...
Wanderer
problem without needing to drag it out into the newsgroup. But, since that
didn't work ...
Does anyone here know how to fix a damaged Microsoft Word document? The
recipe file for the cookbook got Zipped with other things by my sister when
she cleared away a lot of my hard drive, and it damaged the text. Among the
casualties are:
MegaDog Curry
Katmandu's Chili
LoboCursor Lyceus' Beef and Beer
... and these are just the ones with enough left to identify.:/ So if you
sent me a recipe, please resend it so I can pull this back together ...
please?

<sigh> It *is* unzipped now. It's just that the zipping process has a
small, but definable, chance of damaging data. In this case, roughly
two-thirds of the file was reduced to alphabet soup.:/

Actually, *.wav files fit just fine on a floppy. And I *have* a CD-burner
*now*. I just didn't have one *then*.

Okay, let me see ...now, I know you weren't using Snuhwolf at the time ...
ah, here we go. Yes, you sent me a recipe as Zenwolf ... Pasta Salad, to be
exact, and quite a nice recipe. Yep, it's intact. With your permission,
I'll just copy it over to the new file.:)

My grampa Milton Bradley Odyssey once had a problem like that. It
turned out it was because he had a refrigerator magnet in his pocket.
He'd gotten it from one of those companies that gives away such things
in the ludicrous hope that it will improve sales. So anyway, you
don't happen to have any magnets in the vicinity of your floppy disks,
do you?
