I had a bad crash during a download. When I restarted, the message that was
in progress wouldn't open. Kept getting type 10 errors when I ran E'rage.
I deleted the Preferences file, did a routine rebuild, and reinstalled
Office (not too hard to drag it over to the disk).
All my contacts, appointments, tasks, to-dos, and messages were there
(except for the one that was lost while downloading).
Not too shabby for a powerful program running on an old StarMax clone (with
a G3 accelerator, video card, and pretensions of being a hot new G3). Short
of disk/file corruption as reported in the previous message (which cannot be
expected to be remedied from within E'rage), the database seems very stable.
Stability with OS 9.1 is excellent, better than with 9.0.4. Here's hoping
that some of our suggestions and bug fixes make it into the March update.
