Well, somewhere in all this time we got Header() and Recsize().
Of course you get the length of header and record for the
alias in the current workarea. If a table is corrupt, you
may not be able to use it to use these 2 functions, but if
it's just a misfit of reccount info in the header and file
length you can SET TABLEVALIDATE TO 0, then use the table and
get these 2 infos.

Also you can use Bintoc() to stuff the good reccount into the
header.

Nevertheless you need low level file access functions to change
the header.
