How do I truncate Data.fs at a specific pointer? Is there
a utility for this?

My changes are in the Data.fs (which is about 7MB, gzip'd 3.1M). I'll
be happy to send it to anyone who wants to look but it is too big 
to post.

My changes were mostly cosmetic. I removed the 1st column and placed
it in a frame, I added a preview button to the review page, and some
other minor stuff. Also, I do not know if Squishdot has 
anything to do with this problem.

I want to point out that I didn't make any changes from the last
time I test-posted to the time I did a reload and it crashed.
Somehow, it looks like something got committed without my
involvement. Since it is a test site there is almost no one
who uses it.

The distressing part is that I can't seem to recover to start
zope and ftp out my content.

Thanks,
John
