offending operator "nary"

it doesn't sound good, but I had a similar issue with a freehand file. I
ditched the prefs and it opened - mostly (enough to save all the important
bits). you could also try placing the file.
good luck

there some way to retrieve it? Only part of the file opens as of now. This
is something that I have been working on for multiple weeks and have save
and opened many times before. Any solutions or suggestions?
