Summary: As reported, it does exist...


As reported yesterday, UNDELETE does exist.  I downloaded it from 
PeopleLink - the file was found by the uploader on some other BBS.
It is binary only (arc'ed file takes up about 11K, paid no attention
to the unarc'ed size.)

I ran it - the command line looks like this:
 
     undelete filename

responds: (from memory, did this late last nite)

     Put the disk with the deleted file into df0: 
     and put another disk into df1:

     Scanning source disk for <filename>...

it step-step-step's from track 0 to 79, then presumably if it finds
the deleted file's sectors, it will rebuild the file onto the other
drive, similar to the way I've seen DiskSalv operate.

I did not try a "real" test.  It is in PeopleLink, Amiga Zone, section 4,
I think file number 2497.  Seems greatest use is for anyone who does
not have DiskSalv.  

Perhaps someone will cook one up.  I'd rather not repost anything for
which I don't  have access to the source.   If lotsa folks really want
it anyhow, I'll ship it to Fred Fish as received.
