It seems that the only copy of her essay which was due today (worth 25% or her final mark) was on a disk which, although completely fine last night at 3:00am, was so badly corrupted that it refused to even validate. I raced home to help her to try and get it back. "I want you to sell this thing," she fumed about the computer which she once loved. "Don't worry," I reassured her, "I seem to remember saving a program called 'DiskSalv' a while back. Maybe it can help." Well, I sifted through my disks of miscellaneous arvhives untill I found what I was looking for. Reading the friendly documentation that accompanied it, I realized that we were in good hands - we were in David Haynie's hands! I followed the simple directions, and in no time at all, the essay was restored! Sure, the its icon file was completely munged, but the essay itself looked as good as new. Thank you David Haynie! -- Kevin Dooley UUCP - {uunet,pyramid}!utai!helios.physics!dooley Physics Dept. BITNET - dooley@utorphys U. of Toronto INTERNET - dooley@helios.physics.utoronto.ca
