373 Gel file corruption Date: 11/16/98

Has anybody seen this one before? I have seen this about 4 times now: At the
end of what appears to be a successful run, Data Collection will quit and
SeqAnalysis 3.0 will launch. But before SeqAnalysis is completely run, the
Mac will hang up and I will need to restart it to get it going again.
Thereafter, I will be unable to open the Gel file and will get the error
message, "Error -192, the required resources were not found". Geldoc does not
help. Each time, I have not been able to recover the Gel file and the entire
run has been lost. Now that its usually 64 samples that I'm running, this
loss is just too substantial to tolerate. I run Norton regularly, but this
continues to occur intermittantly. I have ftped such a file to Foster City
but have recieved no insights thus far......frustration builds. Even if you
have observed this phenomenon without knowing how to solve it, I would like to
hear about it from you. Thanks!
