Well, I was running with VFP7 SP1. So actually I could open the table, but I wanted to see if your fixer would be able to truncate off the 'Hello' that was appended to the end of the table.

>DO atfixdbffpt WITH "tmptab.dbf", 4,,,1,.T.,2

I received an initial message when running it that there was not enough diskspace to actually fix anything (even though there is about 3.6 GB available). It said something about reverting to Repair level 1 and it continued running and showed the message box that no corruption was detected.

So I have not been able to see if it fixed it or not.

Thanks for you response.
