+>run it. Does anybody have an ideas or suggestions to remedy this +>problem? +> + +By far the most common cause of this particular problem is saving +you code out to a fast load and save format file after heavy editing. +This can sometimes cause slight corruption in the threaded p-code which +is saved. You can cure this by loading the program, going to the +"Save As" menu item of the file menu, and making sure that "Save file +as text (readable by other programs)" option is selected. + +By the way, I highly recommend *never* saving in fast load/save format +for the simple reason that if even one bit is changed from what it should +be (from whatever cause), the entire file is a complete loss. However, +You stand a very good chance of recovering most, if not all, of a file +if it is saved in Text format. Does this continue to hold true for those who conscientiously save as we edit so there is a minimal change with each save?
