Re: Emergency! Shoebox not working!

Do you keep your files on a zip or a floppy so
that at least another computer with Shoebox
on it can read them or print them out?  If you
don't, I would suggest in future that you never
commit anything important to a hard-drive, or
make extensive backups on disk and in hardcopy.

As for new programs, Word might be best.
Microsoft Excel has a decent database for
lexicons.  Me, I do everything on Notabene.

open a .prj file (the one I'm using to keep all my Aredos and Carashan vocabulary in) and apparantly "this file is not in Shoebox 3/4 format" and it asks me to select an appropriate database format, instead of the normal 4.0. It's doing this with all my .prj files. What's happening, and what can I do?

program again. PC's just aren't as reliable as my old Psion.
