corrupt or lost data
Thank you livin Free for all your help. We removed a lot of spool files and report files. Which should have freed up some space.
But now I think a major problem we have is we have lost or corrupt files which are preventing us from coming up correctly. Can we load or can you copy us a directory structure we are now missing. /usr/acd/data
Also what command on our system would we use to read our tape drive to possibly load the directory.
Our system is V68 release R3V6.2 version 990318 M68030.
Also if we get another mis is there a back door password to get into the system or when they load the operating system the administrator gets the password and then your tech support knows the same password and how would they know if you changed your password. and when you change do you not need to know the original password.

packfile_password
packfile_password(3alleg4) Allegro manual packfile_password(3alleg4)
NAME
packfile_password - Sets the global I/O encryption password. Allegro game programming library.
SYNOPSIS
#include <allegro.h>
void packfile_password(const char *password);
DESCRIPTION
Sets the encryption password to be used for all read/write operations on files opened in future using Allegro's packfile functions (whether
they are compressed or not), including all the save, load and config routines. Files written with an encryption password cannot be read
unless the same password is selected, so be careful: if you forget the key, nobody can make your data come back again! Pass NULL or an
empty string to return to the normal, non-encrypted mode. If you are using this function to prevent people getting access to your
datafiles, be careful not to store an obvious copy of the password in your executable: if there are any strings like "I'm the password for
the datafile", it would be fairly easy to get access to your data :-)
Note #1: when writing a packfile, you can change the password to whatever you want after opening the file, without affecting the write
operation. On the contrary, when writing a sub-chunk of a packfile, you must make sure that the password that was active at the time the
sub-chunk was opened is still active before closing the sub-chunk. This is guaranteed to be true if you didn't call the packfile_password()
routine in the meantime. Read operations, either on packfiles or sub-chunks, have no such restriction.
Note #2: as explained above, the password is used for all read/write operations on files, including for several functions of the library
that operate on files without explicitly using packfiles (e.g. load_bitmap()). The unencrypted mode is mandatory in order for those func-
tions to work. Therefore remember to call packfile_password(NULL) before using them if you previously changed the password. As a rule of
thumb, always call packfile_password(NULL) when you are done with operations on packfiles. The only exception to this is custom packfiles
created with pack_fopen_vtable().
