<font face="Georgia">right. it was trying to fetch the class comment
from the now missing source file. I just gave it a fallback much
like methods dropping back to t1 t2 t3 when local names are not
available.<br>

<pre wrap="">Not sure what sort of failures you are seeing, but I tried to replicate
anyway. I deleted the changes file, started the image, OK'd the warning and
filed out a recently-added class. I got one walkback which I fixed with:
'From Squeak4.4 of 1 March 2013 [latest update: #12489] on 15 March 2013 at
7:14:23 am'!
!BasicClassOrganizer methodsFor: 'fileIn/Out'!
fileOutCommentOn: t1 moveSource: t2 toFile: t3
| t4 |
classComment
ifNotNil: [t1 cr.
t4 := RemoteString
newString: (classComment text ifNil: '**missing
comment**')
onFileNumber: t3
toFile: t1.
t2
ifTrue: [classComment := t4]]! !
Otherwise, the fileout seems fine.

OK, that looks like the same walkback I saw. To be clear, it looks
like you turned `classComment text` into `classComment text ifNil:
'**missing comment**'` ?

So I freely confess: I should not have deleted the directory from
which I was running an image. When I saved the image, the image still
worked, but of course its changes file was broken.
I now have a few tens of hours of work in an image that I need to
extract only the following techniques all fail:
* filing out the class
* making a new changeset and filing that out
* saving the package through MC
* deleting the corrupted changes file
So one option that I don't particularly want to do is to open a new
image and hand cut-n-paste (via emacs, because on Linux the line
endings get messed up copying between Squeak images directly), method
by method, the source.
Is there an easier way of recovering from this mess?
