Thank you again, George, for your fast reaction. However, it isn't 
the protected saves. My protected saves are on. I wrote a little 
macro to test it:
proc main()
warn(query(ProtectedSaves))
end
And it answered: 1.
I don't understand why my files are not salvageable. 
Is it better to continue via the mailing list or in direct 
e-mail contact?
