Message-ID: <900503.01112832.003105@CMR.CP6> Date: 3 May 90 06:11:26 GMT Sender: daemon@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Organization: The Internet Lines: 54 Yes, i have lost two math exams on an APOLLO floppy drive conected to a DN3500 runing SR10.1. The bits must still be there, though! Could someone kindly and with all the details, explain how i can get the tex files back? Note that i deleted the "lost$found" file since i could not see what it was used for. Nobody dares to use the floppies here anymore. We have an old AT connected to a sio port, and use KERMIT... ---------------------------------------------START OF LOG % mtvol f floppy Volume needs salvaging.
