By the way, I haven't been able to undelete successfully in Copy II
Plus for ANYTHING ProDOS, in a long time.  I thought that new (post 1.2
or so) ProDOS versions preserved the index blocks when they deleted files (I
know it's hopeless for seedling files (or is it?)).  And I seem to remember
that the original CopyIIPlus disk had a patched Prodos 1.1.1 on it to
accomplish just this.  But has anyone been able to make it work?

thanks...

And thanks for the people who pointed out my overlooking the format
function in Apple File Exchange ... we've all got our blind days; I've
got my blind years. :)
