Hi Don,
You can open an SXC (or any OpenOffice.org native file) and examine it's
"guts" quite easily. This can also allow you to recover data and the files.
Also if you are carefull enough you can recover the data.
To look at the guts of the file simply unzip the file, and then have a look at
contents.xml file to see your data. You can edit this- very carefully - and
rezip it again afterwards.
