CVO, I, too, experienced the excitement of scrambled PAR. Using a earlier version (not 1.30b) to do a little maintainance, I deleted all the animations in a project, deleted some stills in another project, then deleted the empty project. That was the last time I ever accessed the data on that disk with PAR.EXE. PARDRV allowed me to access fragments of the disk from DOS, but files and directories were scrambled and most of the data was missing. My new policy: "Delete no project before its time" (time to reformat, that is) After hearing a similar story following a optimize procedure, I've extended this policy to optimizing as well. For now, I think the best advice is what I heard here on the forum – don't use the PAR for animation storage. JKJ (still loving his PAR)
