E-Studio file corrupted

[David McFarlane]

Massimiliano,

If you wrote this in EP1.x, then the .ebs file contains the full 
human-readable generated source code, and in principle one could work 
back from that to laboriously recreate a corresponding .es file, but 
this is only for the adventurous or desperate.  If in EP2.x, then the 
.ebs2 file is no longer human-readable, so no hope of recreating an 
.es2 file from that.

But before you resort to starting from scratch, open E-Studio, go to 
Tools > Options > General tab, click "Copy backup experiments to my 
desktop...", and see if you can recover an earlier version of your 
E-Studio file (see http://www.pstnet.com/support/kb.asp?TopicID=1355 ).
