Jim,
You also need to set the file length... at offsets 9,A,B,C in the file
descriptor. Since it's close to $26 x256 bytes/sector long, you can start with
$00 00 26 00 for the file length. Back it down if need be. Like $00 00 25 80,
etc.
You could just set it to 00002600 and copy it all with garbage at the end...
and edit it. Or start at 00002500 and keep going higher and listing the file
until you get everything. Or just read the dEd screen and figure out what the
last good byte-within-sector offset is.
Naturally, you must copy the file to a good name, and then go back and zero the
first byte of the bad file's name again... as the sectors are no longer
allocated.
You were very close! Just needed the filesize set. - kev
