Terry, I've done a little poking around my trashed scene file and believe its
hopeless. I zipped it to send to you and noticed the size went from 1562804 to
190. Wow, that PKZIP is pretty amazing! I just copied the original file to
another directory and the size went down to to 65024. Hmmm. Looking at the
file with Write (I don't have a hex editor), it appears that all bytes are the
same character. I still don't know if trueSpace, Windows, my disk controller
or what, mangled this file but I have been once again strongly reminded of the
importance of backups. I reverted to an old backup which had all of the scene
elements but lost all of my animation (keyframes). Thanks for offering to look
at my file but I don't think there's anything there, so to speak.
