I was just lining up my directory/folder icons (so that they would be nice and pretty), when they started all disappearing! (all but the first one selected, that is). Being somewhat handier with the CLI/shell than with the workbench, I started looking around. I found that all of the folders after the first were now sub-directories! Easy enough to fix, but I am now rather paranoid about having more than one (unopened) folder selected at one time. At a recent FAUG meeting, there was some discussion about this, and it has been reported to CBM as a bug. Apparently, I was one of the luckier ones, as all of my directories and files were just "missing, not lost". Also, the latest version of DiskSalv (1.32) can be used as an undelete on a hard disk. If you have more than one partition, and the other has a lot of free space, you can can save to a directory on the other partition, and with ASK mode, it only writes the files you want to to the output path. It can be a bit slow on a large partition, but any undelete is better than none! > Carl > haverl@acf9.nyu.edu -- --------------------- Scott Henry #include
