How to recover corrupted/lost .MEM files in V12:

V12 Version 12.1.5 and later
----------------------------
At the DOS prompt inside of the TM directory type:

     1) MAGIC $$$        to create the TmMEM.MEM from the system 
                         defaults.

     2) MAGIC $$$-       to create the TMmem$$$.MEM from the systems    
                         defaults.

     3) MAGIC $$$+       to create both the TmMEM.MEM and TMmem$$$.MEM
                         from the system defaults.

This is useful when the .MEM files have become corrupted or the system is
not working properly.  There is no need to extract the files from the 
Master Disks starting with 12.1.5 and later versions.

V12 Versions 12.1.4 and earlier
------------------------------

     Replacing the TMmem$$$.mem File
     -------------------------------
      1) With earlier versions of V12 (12.1 to 121.1.4), there is an   
         unpacked copy of the TMMEM$$.MEM file on Disk #1. Copy it over
         to their TM directory with:

                    *                **
               COPY A:\TMmem$$$.MEM C:\TM

               (*/** see below)


     2) If the Tmmem$$$.MEM on Disk #1 is corrupted or missing, it can be 
        extracted from the TmMISC.LZH file on Disk #2 of the 3.5 disks or 
        Disk #3 of the 5.25. TO do this:

     CAUTION:  Before starting this procedure we recommend you make
               backups of the complete directory.  You can backup to
               diskettes or even just backup to a different directory by
               making a new directory and copying all the files in the
               TeleMagic directory.

            A) Insert Master Disk #1 (3.5 or 5.25) into the floppy drive
               and copy the lharc program to their TM directory by going
               to the DOS prompt inside of their TM directory and typing:


                         *            
                    COPY A:\lharc.exe 

                         (* see below)

            B) Now insert the Master Disk containing the TmMISC.lzh file
               (Disk #2 of the 3.5 disks or Disk #3 of the 5.25) into   
               floppy drive and type:

                            *
                    Lharc x A:\TmMISC TMmem$$$.mem

               This will extract the TMmem$$$.mem file from the
               TmMISC.lzh file and place it into their TM directory.  The
               file is only one byte when it is first extracted.  After
               they log into TeleMagic the file will be updated and will
               be the correct size.


          CAUTION:  Do not use the command `Lharc x A:\TMmisc  *.mem'
                    because it will over write the TmINDEX.mem.  If you
                    over write the TmINDEX.mem file you will lose all of
                    the User Defined Indexes.  They will have to created
                    from scratch unless you have a backup of the
                    TmINDEX.mem.




     Replacing the TmMEM.mem File
     ----------------------------
        If the TmMEM.MEM on Disk #1 is corrupted or missing, it can be  
        extracted from the TMMISC.LZH file on Disk #2 of the 3.5 disks or

        Disk #3 of the 5.25 Disks.  To do this:

            A) Insert Master Disk #1 (3.5 or 5.25) into the floppy drive
               and copy the lharc program to their TM directory by going
               to the DOS prompt inside of their TM directory and typing:


                         *            
                    COPY A:\lharc.exe 

                         (* see below)

            B) Now insert the Master Disk containing the TMMISC.lzh file
               into the floppy drive and type:

                            *
                    Lharc x A:\TMmisc TmMEM.mem

               This will extract the TmMEM.mem file from the TmMISC.lzh 
               file and place it into their TM directory.  The file is
               only one byte when it is first extracted.  After they log 
               into TeleMagic the file will be updated and will be the
               correct size.


          CAUTION:  Do not use the command `Lharc x A:\TMmisc  *.mem'
                    because it will over write the TmINDEX.mem.  If you
                    over write the TmINDEX.mem file you will lose all of
                    the User Defined Indexes.  They will have to created
                    from scratch unless you have a backup of the
                    TmINDEX.mem.


*    This could be the B: drive depending on size disks they are        
     using and their hardware setup.               

**   Their path and directory name may differ, this assumes the default.
