Compress/decompress

[MisterX]

Shari,

You can get the scripts back by opening your stack with a good editor
such as ultraedit on win32 or BBEdit on MacOS.

Search for your script, bingo! copy paste... voila... nothing lost that
is in a script or field that is not compressed or encrypted naturally...

cheers
Xa
