It's on fish 20, with source.  It's not a trivial task to recover just
one file ... well, it IS trivial, but if you have one file messed up
chances are very VERY good that something else is wrong.  Just fixing
the original file won't fix the disk.

You can sort of recover a file using Sectorama, using the Write to File
option.  You have to know a lot about the innards of the FS though.
It also doesn't FIX the file, it just recovers the data to some other
place (like RAM: or something).
