I think that’s the problem. It looks like
I’ve saved an output file (.spv) as a syntax file (.sps), although I don’t know
how I did that. It also seems to have over-written the original syntax file.
Thanks.

What's the extension on the "output" file?
This looks like an attempt of a text editor to render a binary file. So if the
output file is a binary spv file but it has an extension of sps, you might see
something like this when you open the file.

Recently I moved some output and syntax files from one directory to
another by highlighting the files and copying them (dragging-and-dropping) to a
new directory. In general, things worked fine. However, a couple of
files have been corrupted.
This
is an output file:

I
still have the original files, so I can use them. I’d be curious if
anyone has any suggestion as to what happened in the copying.
So far
I haven’t found any problem with the data files.
