Have you seen Steve Costa's article in the Fall/Winter '86 BMUG
Newsletter?  It is all about file recovery.  He talks about a variety of
programs to rescue MacWrite files.  More importantly he tells you how to
use a special disk from the BMUG library, Disk 50, to convert the damaged
disk to a MFS volume.  Once it is a MFS volume it is fairly easy to let
Fedit go about recovering the files.  It is a very good article, but may
not be for the Mac novice.  BMUG can be reached at 415-849-HELP, 1442A
