This document covers AW 1.0 - 2.0 for Data Base and 1.2 - 2.0 for Spreadsheet. AppleWorks Multiple Disk Save Rescue Documentation This routine was designed to work with AppleWorks Modified with the Applied Engineering 'Super AppleWorks Desktop Expander TM'. Best results will be obtained by using AppleWorks 1.2 or higher. It will not work on the //GS. The Control-Reset combination resets some code in the stack in the microprocessor, not allowing AppleWorks to be reset. This Code is courtesy of Michael Wilks The Author of the Original AppleWorks Desktop Expander. *** Special Note *** Just a reminder, this is not intended to be a replacement for keeping backups of your data. Also, this procedure does not always work the first time, you may need to try this a couple of times to get it to work. If you have a NON-ENHANCED //e you must type all of the letters in the following code in UPPER CASE. If you type it in lower case the code will not work. //c owners do not have to worry about UPPER or lower case. Make sure you do not have any other modifications installed on your AppleWorks. Especially RESET.SYSTEM or TimeOut. These program add a reset trap to AppleWorks and will not let you reset to the monitor. Please make sure you have plenty of GOOD formatted disks handy before starting this procedure. All of the disks you formatted MUST have the SAME VOLUME NAME! The following routine(s) will help you to recover most of a file that has been saved as part of a Multiple Disk File where one of the disks has been damaged. This will primarily be useful for those occasions when the 2nd or 3rd disk in a series has been damaged, and you need to recover the data from the first disk(s) in the series. This is NOT a substitue for keeping BACKUPS of your data. In the case of a physically damaged disk chances of recovering data fromthe da maged disk are slim. Please note there is a different routine for the different versions of AppleWorks. In order for this routine to work the Reset Vector must point to the Monitor. To ensure this you must cold-boot AppleWorks directly from a floppy disk. If you are using a hard disk or 3.5 UniDisk with any type of program selector (such as Catalyst or Mouse Desk) you MUST exit to basic first and type the following: ]CALL -151 (This gets you into the Monitor) *3F2: 59 FF 5A (this changes reset vector) *-/volume.name/APLWORKS.SYSTEM (/volume.name/ = location of AppleWorks) Once you are into AppleWorks, load your file like normal, loading as many of the disk(s) that you can onto your AppleWorks desktop. When you get the 'Segmented Desktop File' message hit Ctrl-Reset. DO NOT PRESS EITHER THE CLOSED OR OPEN APPLE KEYS, AS THIS WILL SCREW UP EVERYTHING YOU HAVE DONE TO THIS POINT. You should now be looking at a 40 col screen full of garbage with an asterisk for a prompt '*'. From this point you need to refer to the section for your version of AppleWorks. The information provided here supports AppleWorks 1.0 through 1.3 for data base files and AppleWorks 1.2 and 1.3 for Spreadsheet files.
