Sorry to post this to the net but Jim didn't provide much of an
address, telephone number or whatever.... (To net users, PLEASE do give
your phone number and address in your postings...This is an ARPANET
feed, isn't it?  Don't they have phones and addresses???) Fortunately, this
might be useful to others otherwise I wouldn't have bothered responding
at all....

In IBM PC-DOS, a file saved using the ,P option can be recovered by
going into BASIC/BASICA and entering:

NEW
DEF SEG
BSAVE,"UN.P",1124,1
LOAD"filename"
BLOAD,"UN.P",1124

where filename is the name of the file that was saved with the P
option.  It may work for generic MSDOS also.
