On 3 occasions,I have a client who sees this kind of corruption regularly, but never on a Mac, always on Windows. We are using the MetaCard engine, but it's the same thing; delete the tilde from the backup file name and the backup is good. I once asked what caused this, and was told that there is only one thing that will cause stack corruption, and that's if the app crashes while writing the file to disk. I'm not sure this is always the case though, because not all of the corrupted stacks were also involved in an application crash.
my stacks have become corrupted during normal use; twice on a Mac and once
on a PC. Lucky for me, the Rev team has built a catch for this, and the app
automatically generates a backup file which is named with the extension
.rev~.
On the other hand, I have written an awful lot of MetaCard and Revolution stacks, and this particular one is the only one that shows corruption. The client wanted it to behave like HyperCard, so it is also the only stack I maintain that auto-saves so often. I have no firm evidence, but I just have a feeling that has something to do with it.
