First, make sure the workspace isn't saved with anything on the stack (
)SI is empty).
Then, it's been years so my memory on this is hazy, but there's a system
command )FRISK which I THINK checks for bad memory entries inside the
workspace (after you've loaded it). )FRISK is a toggle; it's default is
OFF so running it once turns it ON. I THINK that if there's already
damage in the workspace that it clears it, but I'm not sure. That may
be a separate system command; sorry, but I don't remember for sure. But
if )FRISK displays anything at all, then there's definitely something
wrong in there. Make sure to turn it OFF afterwards. Also make SURE to
make a backup of your workspace first. If you run it and it displays
anything, then re-save the workspace and see if the size has gone down.
Again, make sure to make a backup first! You may find that fixing the
damage means that something that should be there disappears, since it
was damaged. You'll have to check the integrity of your programs and
data to see. If that doesn't help I can contact someone I used to work
with to see if they remember the (possibly) other system command that
might help.
