Hmmm... That's one I've never looked at real closely.  If you have DiskSalv
1.4x, you can scan your disk for that file; it certainly won't hurt anything
to try.  Assuming the unclosed file named "FileXX" is somewhere on device DXX:,
you'd invoke DiskSalv like this:

	DiskSalv DXX: RAM: FILE FileXX

That'll cause DiskSalv to scan the entire DXX: device and only store files 
that match the pattern you give to the file option -- in this case, the
FileXX name as an exact match.  If you try it, pleace let me know what
happens.  I'll certainly try it myself, as this is one situation I haven't
really analyzed much.
