Very distressing my friend! i am sorry i can't offer a real solution. i=20=

would assume that Organizer choked on the character encoding [cryllic?]=20=

that Russian text uses. did you have a backup you can use? i sure hope=20=

Notes. I am lucky to still have over a year & a half worth of notes=20
still in tact on my Newt, very useful when i need to recall something=20
from my first university semesters! so, the lesson here i guess is=20
Backup often! it's too bad too because when i was running windows,=20

good luck my Russian friend!
