Hopefully others will chime in here, but ...

1.  There USED to be a mechanism that read in a .so file if present to do exactly this kind of thing.  It was in the method readDocumentFile, but I now find there only the comment
	"No longer used. Everything is now done in ProjectLauncher."
So I think PL might be useful if you can get some help on how to do what you want (Michael...?).

2.  In a FileList, select the .changes file, and use 'all operations...' / 'browse changes'.  Since I have been through exactly this exercise several times before, it will tell you "the changes file is huge, and would you like to just see the last million characters in a change list?"  This should take you a long way toward recovery if necessary.

Hope this helps
