My Data.fs seems to be in a truly sorry state. When I try to start up Zope, I get the following in my log file: 2001-11-05T09:35:31 PANIC(300) z2 Startup exception Traceback (innermost last): File /home/burt/lib/zope/Zope-2.3.2-src/z2.py, line 566, in ?

But there are 2 MB of transactions after that. Do I have to throw all this data away? --- Alastair
