What were you trying to do?
ispell a file
What's wrong:
While I was ispelling my file, my tokens expired. I got an error
message about it not being able to create the .bak file. When I
checked my original file, I found that it is now empty (actually a
couple of blank lines).
I've also had my .mh_sequences file get zeroed when I've tried to inc
(without knowing that my tokens have expired), and I've seen files get
zeroed when you try to save them in emacs and your tokens have
expired.
What should have happened:
It shouldn't have damaged my file.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
none
Thanks!
Carla
