Well, i have an exam in programming (Pascal/C) in 2 days and today i did a lot of revision. The thing is, i wrote a fairly big Pascal 'tutorial' by which i could study and it took me 4 hours. I typed it in Corel WordPerfect and coverted it to M$Word. Then i accidentally converted it back to Corel WP (all the same file). Therefore, i lots all formatting and almost all the text. The files (pascal.doc and pascal.wpd), if converted to text, show all the text i typed, only with a whole lot of gibberish. M$Word and WP don't show anything except an incomplete first page. I tried converting around formats, nothing helped.
My question is, is it possible to somehow recover what i typed? Any way? I have restarted since (had to), running WinXP Pro.
PLEASE Help if you can, i would kill myself before i rewrote the whole thing (and removing the gibberish from the text/inserting correct formatting would also take hours)... i really appreaciate any help

try opening the file in notepad and setting it a basix unicode text and see what happens.
If not try a hex editor.
or post the file here so peopl can have a whack at it.

Duties are not performed for duty's sake, but because their neglect would make the man uncomfortable. A man performs but one duty - the duty of contenting his spirit, the duty of making himself agreeable to himself.
