  TITLE  :  USING DEBUG TO ALLOW USE OF QUATTRO.BAK




Quattro Pro's Transcript Utility records your keystrokes and
commands as you use the program.  This recorded information is
saved in a macro format to the file QUATTRO.LOG.  This utility
can be used to:

    -  undo a mistake

    -  recover from a power and/or system failure

    -  create macros

Transcript supports a Max History Length option.  This option
controls the maximum size of the QUATTRO.LOG file.  As a default,
the Max History Length is set to 2000 keystrokes.  Once this
value has been reached, the QUATTRO.LOG file is renamed to
QUATTRO.BAK and the .LOG file is cleared.  This allows you to
rename the .BAK file back to .LOG (at the DOS level or from
within the Quattro Pro FileManager) and use this information for
any of the reasons outlined above.

Currently, the Max History Length setting is saved with the .LOG
file.  Therefore, when this file is saved to the .BAK file, this
setting is also retained.  If you rename the .BAK to .LOG, the
Max History Length will already be reached and the file will be
returned to a backup status.  This makes it unusable.

It is possible to modify the QUATTRO.BAK file to allow you to use
it again.  This is handled by using DOS DEBUG to manipulate the
file.  The part of the file which is being changed is the area
which stores the Max History Length.  The steps outlined below
will change this setting to approximately 24,000 keystrokes.

The following commands will allow you to use the QUATTRO.BAK file
in transcript:

     C:\QPRO>DEBUG QUATTRO.BAK	   (at DOS prompt)
     -ECS:157 60		   (in Debug edit byte 57)
     -W                            (write change to disk)
     Writing nnnn Bytes            (message from DEBUG)
     -Q                            (quit out of debug)

     C:\QPRO>COPY QUATTRO.BAK QUATTRO.LOG

  TITLE  :  USING DEBUG TO ALLOW USE OF QUATTRO.BAK




Debug should be located in a directory in your path statement.
This will allow you to have up to 24,000 statements in the old
QUATTRO.BAK file that now has been copied to QUATTRO.LOG.
