          Once, using a new file requester system, I managed to mess up
        both my work disk and my primary backup, losing about a months
        work.  I ended up using a program called "DiskX" which I found on
        "DEVDISK 0026" from DevWare, a local PD distributor.  With this
        program I was able to reconstruct much of the lost text files.

          Having looked through the blocks on a disk in this way it seems
        to me that undelete usually only work if no other disk activity has
        occured (writes) since the delete.

          Got a spec. for how you think this program should function?  I
        need to learn about the file system and this seems like a short
        project, so I might be interested.

                                                        Thanks,


                                                                Wade.
