This document is designed to be used as a reference when it is necessary to work directly at the file level. It does not include files that are used by other utilities or applications, even though they may reside in the same directories.
Be aware of the following when working with files listed in this table:
Missing data files will not prevent TouchPro from running. For this reason, you can rename or delete them when working with a file corruption problem.
Linked files should always be copied or deleted as a set.
Text files can be changed using Edit, but it is recommended that this capability only be used in-house.
Never change a binary file with Edit unless your name is Darrin.
