A sure way to break your system

Very simple:
1) Use a text editor and open /appl/fp/lib/edits
2) Pick an edit definition and remove 1/2 a line or
simply set it so that it is not complete
3) Open a filePro file where broken edit is used
or quite possibly, any filePro file
A broken or corrupted edits file is a sure way to bring
your filePro system to its knees or rendering it totally
non-functional.
Give this a try! :) Careful, remember that edits
apply to the application(s) unless otherwise redirected.
NOTE: I came across this some years back when an in-house
programmer messing with /appl/fp/lib/edits removed chunks
of it and saved it. I do not know if current versions will
do same but I would expect them to.
