LOGO-L> Little MicroWorlds Problem

["Craig Kerwin" <cdkerwin@icr.com.au>]

Just thought I'd let MicroWorlds users (wither DOS or Win 95 - not 
sure about Mac) know about a little problem I have encountered when 
using the program, but also a solution.

Problem
For some reason MicroWorlds tells you that it can't open a file 
because of a corruption (predominently) or other problem. It usually 
happens if the file you are working on is not saved properly (or you 
get a Windows GPF.)

Solution
Go into the directory where the file is saved. You will (hopefully) 
see two copys of the file. (example below for Win 95)
my project.mw2	0 bytes
my project.tmp		537 bytes

MicroWorlds uses a tmp file situation for working on files. If you 
delete the .mw2 (or mwp - DOS) file and rename the .tmp file, it 
should solve the problem.

There may not always be a tmp file, but 99% of the time there is.


Hope this helps out anyone who may have experienced the problem.
