Hi Michal, First of all, make a backup of anything left (.image .changes files). (No real data recovery specialist works with originals). Have you thougt about reading the image into a InterpreterSimulator and catching the exception that would surely be raised, to then inspect the 'lost' image?! I haven't worked much with that thing myself but I know that much: there are two versions and you have to work with the one matching the endianness (Smalltalk endianness<Cmd-P>) of your machine (the attached cs should make the right choice for you). Then, if you have an intact .changes file (and your notes weren't hidden in Workspaces) you could use the famous codeBrowser to browse it.
hope this helps, Torge ----- Original Message ----- From: michal starke miso.fastlist@auf.net To: squeak@cs.uiuc.edu Sent: Sunday, April 30, 2000 11:50 AM Subject: help! hosed precious image: rescuable ?
I had some like that corrupted image, when i touch my HD cables in phase of "Smalltalk condenseChanges" and machine was frozen.
Maybe it is not the correct way, but worked fine for me :
I first removed all starting huge noninteresting lines of code up to found interested start point of my code lines and found start signature of ----SNAPSHOT---- . Then I saved file to some new named rescue.st and than i file in that code to found previous operatin image... so try also this with copy of your changes and new image ...
