Jan,

I'm assuming that these lines arae from your 'syntax' file.

If so, then I'd say that '... DATA FILE ...' tells you what happened. And
that is that you (somehow) saved your data file on top of your syntax file.
Hope you have a backup or can extract the syntax from the output or log
files.

Subject: Syntax file filled with weird characters??

I opened my saved syntax file today and the file is filled with weird
characters. Mostly boxes. Also there area only 385 lines of this
gibberish instead of the 1600 or so that I had of readable syntax.
Any ideas??
Thanks, Jan
