  37 &gt;<i> Hi all,
  38 </I>&gt;<i>
  39 </I>&gt;<i>  Is it possible to edit the chan.db and nick.db by the text editor directly?
  40 </I>&gt;<i>  It is because I got the corrupted database, but it seem I found out which
  41 </I>&gt;<i>  entrys make
  42 </I>&gt;<i>  the services seg. fault.
  43 </I>&gt;<i>
  44 </I>&gt;<i>  Thank you.
  45 </I>&gt;<i>
  46 </I>It won't be possible to edit the databases with a text editor, they are
  47 binary-mode files.  Why not try dropping the problem nick/channels as a
  48 temporary measure? Sometimes this will get rid of a corrupted entry.
