Well, actually, if the "mistaken remove" is the one the user did, as
opposed to the one the Norton Utilities' daemon does (removing the file
from purgatory), "unerase" wouldn't be very useful at all if invoked in
advance of the mistaken remove, for obvious reasons....

Given that, I presume you meant "in advance of said daemon reaping the
file".
