following up a message from Trev Roydhouse to Jan Murphy:
TR> Possibly you've set your clock ahead recently.  Opus hasn't actually
TR> hung, it's just sitting there in a tight loop counting seconds ...
TR> for hours.   
TR> You need to delete the magic file which may be either or both of
TR> COMMON.DAT (if you have one) and/or SCHED.DAT <-- where your events
TR> are stored so watch out!   
    Uh, rename it, or move it to some other directory, rather than delete it. 
 Or else print it out so you'll have the list of events to put back into the 
new sched.dat....
