My telegrams are going nuts. It doesn't show the telegrams under the
telegram tab when I get one. It's been like this for a little while now. I
deleted the telegram.idx and restarted Active Worlds but it didn't help. How
do I see my grams?! Gahh!

If you have a backup copy of your old telegram.dat
and telegram.idx you can convert them into a text
file : http://oct31.de/aw/tgram2txt/index.html

It's a problem if the IDX and the DAT file are not
consistent, deleting only the index doesn't save the
data. I don't know C-Tree very well, but to me it
looks like a conceptional problem of C-Tree that the
IDX files contain some data that cannot be recovered
from the DAT files by just rebuilding the index, as
not all informations of the records are contained in
the DAT but only held in the IDX. Can be fixed with
good database design though, accepting redundancies
of the key fields in IDX and database.
Unfortunately this seems not to be the case in the
telegrams, and for the other files the necessary
rebuild routines aren't implemented, either not in
C-Tree or just not in AW.

Maybe Andras could ... (hint hint hint)
