Kindly Apple ][ Gurus,

    I have a user who accidentally deleted an AppleWorks file.  I have obtained
a binary disk editor (ByteZap-Pro), and I have located portions of his file.
But I have little idea how to go about re-constructing the disk's directory
entries.

    Is there out there a PD/FreeWare/ShareWare routine for re-constructing a
ProDOS directory?  If not, can someone give me a guide to the various fields of
a directory entry so that I can try to re-construct it "manually"?  (This is a
5.25" diskette by-the-way).  The file was created while the user was using
AppleWorks on a //gs with an early version of OS-GS.
