Near the end of summer, I took our Kaypro in for drive alignment.  Its
been about a month-and-a-half and we've had no trouble...until now.
All of the programs seem to be OK (read: no panicky phone calls from
home) except for NULU (LU, LDIR, etc.)  It does not seem to be able to
read old library files (that is, created during the pre-align period).
BAD DIRECTORY or INSUFFICIENT MEMORY are the error messages.

I'd bet my left...arm that it is related to the recent alignment.
Short of un-aligning one drive and copying the file (or other such
kludges), does anyone have any suggestions?  The details are kind of
sketchy, and consulting over the phone with distraught relatives can
be hectic, so any help would be appreciated.
