I was increasing a dataset's capacity using DBCPLUS and thought my (remote)
session had hung *after* already doing PER COM, so I aborted the session. 
The bad news was that we don't have a current backup of the database, and
now the "restructuring" flag is set and the DB is "bad".  I managed to make
a copy of the DB via COPYN (FastCopy by David Doyle), so I can restore the
old database.  My question is, is there a way of recovering / reading /
extracting records from the copy of this database so I can update the small
number of records that changed since the last backup?
