mathematica files are XML I think; i.e. they're text with extra kind-of flags in it. So the file will open using a good text editor. It should be possible to identify what is input and what is output. So what I'd do is eliminate the output then try to fix the input so that it looks right compared with another valid mathematica file. Then save and run the file. I've done this before with a student's exam file that got corrupted - it works. You're still left with the versions 5/6 issue however. good luck Peter 2008/9/9 Adam Weyhaupt <aweyhau at siue.edu>: > I am teaching Calc I this semester and am having my students do > Mathematica labs.
