Spent most of today working on a project in Delphi 7 and a upon running the
code to see results of some changes Delphi locked up. Would not let me out
gracefully so I had to Ctrl-Alt-Del and kill the process. In doing so it
sucked my code from the directory. Or I guess it just could'nt write the
new .pas .dpr .dof .res files. It did cresate the exe and .dcu files. After
restarting Delphi and trying to return to the project I see the the last
several hours of work is gone. When running the exe it shows a Stack
Overflow error. I think I know what I did and am wndering if anyone knows a
what to recover from and prevent loss of code like this again.
