i have been using a PAR for about six months, and have just discovered a very disturbing problem. when i completed an animation, i copied the ani file to my system hard drive and then backed it up to dat tape. i just tried to restore one of these files (over 10,000 frames!) and found that it was corrupted. i have subsequently found that just about every file of any significant size (over 1000 frames) is corrupted. since just about every animation we create is larger than this, i can't tell you how devistating this is! i have checked and found that this problem has occurred not only with the beta software, but also with the original shipping version. if any one has any ideas about how to retrieve these ani files, i will be eternally gratefull. jerry o'connor
