Hey! Dat's me! [blush]
And...um...excuse me Mr. Peck, sir but it's AmigaZONE
                                                 ^^^^
which in a moment of sentimentality in the Summer of '86, I chose as
the name for the Amiga club on People/Link as a form of fond dedication
to my favorite teevee show of all time.  And 'sides, no one objected! :)

Yeah, we have a really old UNDELETE program in our library there...
I remember using it a long time ago.  It requires you to know the 
name of the file(s) you wish to undelete, and hopefully you haven't
written anything to your disk since you deleted the file you want to
get back. When I tried it, long ago, it worked.  DiskSalv (hi Dave!)
seems to perform the same feat quite well.

Now excuse the sacrelige but what we Amigoids really need is a Norton
Utilities type of gizmo that will gently guide folks through a system
of menus letting them choose which files they wish to ATTEMPT to
undelete... not a Hex editor, not a funky quick hack, like Undelete,
but a nice full featured utility that non-programmers can deal with
and use.
