To all, I would appreciate any help in solving this problem I'm having with an ACAD 10 file; its disk was damaged (and has no usable backup, so sue me) and now when loaded gives the error: "INTERNAL ERROR: EREAD 5 read 67" followed by: 3012:0181-053E:0000 053E:017C-0556:000C 0556:007E-1B71:0004 1B71:0076-3F95:0000 3F95:0740-3F95:0B2C 3F95:0B67-14A6:0F8F 14A6:0FBD-0B6F:0068 0B6F:00B9-0B6F:11EA 0B6F:1216-0674:0E79 0674:0EC6-3012:02D7 and ACAD qutting. Using control-c to interrupt the drawing error doesn't stop the error. Forgot to mention, part of the file (about 10% displays before the error) Any input into recovering this file would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Karl /help type d1

Karl: Sue a man when he's down – naaa, not us. Sounds like you realize that your drawing file has been damaged. Since you've tried the Ctrl-C technique, your other recourse is to get ahold of one of the drawing recovery programs and see what it can do with the drawing. The best known of these is AutoSAVE from CYCO (404/634-3302). Damaged drawing files is one good reason to upgrade to AutoCAD Release 11, since it includes some built-in recovery techniques. Also, don't store valuable drawings on floppies alone, and especially on a single floppy. – Mark M.

Dear Mark, I am ever so greatful for your help with that bloody file. I'll gladly name my first-born after you…actually, for two bits extra, you can have him or her. In a position to let my hair grow back in, Sincerely, Karl.

Karl: You want ME to pay YOU in order that I might take a mueling (sp?), puking little blob off your hands?! Surely you jest…. Actually, if the drawing does get fixed, you could name the kid Cyco. – Mark M.
