I heard you can rebuild lets say a world's GZ buy using the cache. Ok which
file contains this data, it need the name of it and which extension it is
like .idx or .dat and what program is it that is best fro rebuilding it into
a world?

Look inside your cache folder, under property, and then in the folder of the
proper world name. You should see cell.dat, cell.idx, elev.idx, and elev.dat
(the last two will only be valid if you had terrain enabled in the world).

I believe AWI had something about this in the help files... Try under the
"world administration" section. I think it's under the sub-heading where
they talk abot automatic backups. Andras also has a tool built especially
for doing this, i think?

Nope nothing in the AW help files about rebuilding with a .idx or .dat file.

It is possible to re-create a propdump from the cell.dat, I don't think it
is with terrain. With permission from the world's owners, I have used this
in many of my videos. Contact me MRBruce...

Yeah I have an old PC I have not had in AW for some time and it has an old
cache of A!!CT world from 2001. Anyway I saved the 'property A!!CT folder'
which had the cell.dat and cell.idx files in it and I sent them to starfleet
who says they are empty, which is strange because if I log into AW and and
run it in stand alone mode, I can walk around in the GZ area and see what
was here. Of course I believe the browser is AW 3.2 and also because the
hard drive is (LOL) a 560 Mb drive I used disk compression using DriveSpace
3 (since its OS is win 98) so I'm not sure if any of that has anything to do
with it.
But I was hoping to salvage an old propdump of my world from way back
when....
