This morning I got a CD full of data files from a remote client database
server that went belly up.  This production database (8.1.5 on NT) was put
together by a group of developers with no backups setup.  They sent the CD
to me in hopes that I could recover the database.  I laid the files down on
my NT laptop and got the database up.  I went to execute an export and got
ORA-01578.  

I executed DBV against a few of the data files.  The SYSTEM tablespace has
18 corrupt blocks and USERS has over 80 corrupt blocks.  Just about every
query against the dictionary is returning ORA-01578.  For example, I get
ORA-01578 when I try to figure out the object name for a corrupt block.

So now I'm trying to figure out what my options are.  I'm scanning books and
Metalink, but I'm not finding much.  Am I missing something?  Help?

Many TIA.

Chris
