Thanks, I finally did resort to DIskSalv.  It was not fun having to run it
8 times to make sure all the important stuff got saved.  DiskSalv was
able to recognize the Directory loop (Very good program).

I was not sure if the files had been effectively deleted or if the blocks
were still allocated to the system but inaccessible.  IE: I was not sure
if I had lost a meg of disk space.

Later,
Pat
