I have been unable to use the ZOPE database after a system crash in Win95 and subsequent scandisk operation.

Hm. Did you have a backup? :)

error message

DatabaseError corrupted data record at ....

Is there a rccomended way to rebuild the Zope database ??

No, but there should be. The database format is pretty simple and has a number of redundancies built-into it that should make it possible to recover most of the file. I'll go ahead write a tool to do this. In the mean time, please send mt your bobobase (as a gzipped file or tar ball in private mail) and I'll: - use it to test a recovery program, and - repair it and send it back to you.
