Is the Structure of a Stack File published anywhere?
Thanks

I've distributed a standalone stack (Windows) that calls another in the
"splash screen" style. The second stack is my data stack and it's corrupted.
It can no longer be opened by my standalone app. When I try to open this
data stack directly from Revolution, I get a message "There was a problem
opening that stack: stack is corrupted; check for ~ backup file."
Of course, there's no backup file. Is there any way to ignore the scripting
and just retrieve the data that's stored in the various fields on the cards?
Hmmmm....we go seven years with close to zero corruption, and in the
last two months I've read about three cases. RunRev -- what's
happening?
Ed, before you go down the arduous route of rebuilding the stack,
you might try seeing if there's some way to delete any images in it
first. In most cases corruption is related to images embedded in the
stack, and it may be possible to delete those without truly opening
it (the engine does less work with a stack when it doesn't actually
open it) with something like this (off the top of my head, so maybe
it'll need revision):
on mouseUp
answer file "Select the bad stack:"
if it is empty then exit to top
put it into tStackFile
--
repeat with i = 1 to the number of cards in stack tStackFile
repeat with j = the number of images \
of cd i of stack tStackFile down to 1
delete img 1 of cd i of stack tStackFile
end repeat
end repeat
end mouseUp
