Yesterday I did a clean re-install of OSX 10.3 but forgot to backup my Boinc file settings on my iBook. I have my CP file on an external HD, but my settings seem to be saved in my Home folder. Is there a way to recover my work without having to start from year 1810 again? When I shut down the project I save a file, but when I tried to run it from Terminal I got a "Premission denied" message. Since I have only used terminal to run CP and have little UNIX knowledge (but I am learning with tutorials) I am not sure what command I need to execute. Thanks for any advice offered. This is the log I get when I try to open my last CP Terminal file saved:
