Like any database structured file, a back-up is your best friend. trying to
repair a file like that isn't impossible, but neither is building a
space-shuttle (but I wouldn't want to do it alone). I'm not aware of any
tools that are available, But through the use of Intelilink software, it may
be exported into a database format where some repairs can be made..
