back-converting from script to studio

[David McFarlane]

Travis,

Sorry, bucko.  You don't have to take my word for this, for if you 
search the Google Group or the PST Forum you will see that this very 
issue has come up time and again -- there is no automated way to 
reconstruct an .es or .es2 file from an .ebs or .ebs2 file, no way, 
no how.  You will just have to manually reconstruct your .es/.es2 
file.  If you have a good-old EP1 .ebs file (which is plain readable 
text) and some expertise in reading E-Basic code then you might use 
that as a guide.  But if you have only a bad-new EP2 .ebs2 file (now 
binhex-encoded, once again see discussion thread at 
http://support.pstnet.com/forum/Topic696-12-2.aspx ) then all hope is lost.

Well, maybe one last hope does remain, try "Copy backup experiments 
to the desktop" from the General tab of the Tools > Options dialog.
