Hey Terry.. RUN!! ;D -- JK

Is there a chance the datafile was compressed externally with compress or
gzip? Maybe decompressing it is all that would be required. I know that
I've mistakenly tried recovering a database and missed decompressing a
datafile only to have dbv say that the entire file is corrupt.

It's been mentioned that maybe the header is corrupt and maybe that is
really the case.. however, I find it hard to believe that an entire file
is corrupt.

Just a suggestion,
