There are several 'undelete'-programs available as PD- or commercial
software. But one thing I'm missing is an 'unformat'. For example if
I go and format a floppy or even the harddisk and some days later I
find that I've thrown away some valuable files, it would be nice to
get them back. The fact that there is no such 'unformat'-command is
exactly that sort of thing that makes UNIX such a unfriendly system
for the non-guru users.

Must I really note that the above was pure sarcasm? Oh, better I do,
before my mailbox flows over.
