UNDELETE ver. 1.00F
-------------------
Copyright (c) Konstantin Saliy, 1996
HOW TO USE IT
-------------
This is the first release of UNDELETE utility for Flash SSD disks.
It must be run on Psion Series 3a only.
UNDELETE is not undelete in general sense but file recover
application - it will copy data from deleted files to another
file. Anyway it can be useful while this the only (IMHO) tool to
restore deleted data from your Flash SSD.
To install it simply copy it into any \OPP\ directory on your
Psion. The name Undelete will appear under RunOpl icon (if you
have no RunOpl installed on your System screen, refer to User
Manual how to install RunOpl).
UNDELETE is easy to use: run it, select SSD drive and press Enter.
You'll have a list of all deleted files on your SSD with their
original size and date/time stamp. Select file you want to recover
and press Enter. Then choose destination file for recovered data -
that's all! If you want to recover more then one file you have to
do it file by file - sorry!
While you are in the deleted files list you can press Help button
to receive instructions above.
DISCLAIMER
----------
I take no responsibility for damage or data loss that occurs as
result of using this program. NO WARRANTY AT ALL. Be careful,
backup often and you will never need to run it.
CREDITS
-------
It would be nightmare to write this application without OPL
Preprocessor by Andy Clarkson OPP ver. 1.2F because of Flash SSD
structure. With his STRUCT definition I could think only about
algorithms - not how to access SSD system data fields.
Flash SSD data format was derived from Psionics files by Clieve D.
W. Feather - I couldn't find it anywhere else.
Thanks to Daniel Pfund who found a number of bugs in beta release.
SUGGESTIONS AND BUG REPORTS
---------------------------
E-mail all suggestions (Type II documentation is especially
welcome) and bugs to <kis@ipmce.ru>. Please, include "Undelete" in
your subject to let my mailer put it into appropriate folder.
REGISTRATION AND FEE
--------------------
This is NOT freeware. I want to offer it as shareware. It has no
nag screens or any hidden features. You can test it and even use
it without any limitation. But if you found it useful especially
by recovering VERY important data please, try not forget the
author. All in all if nobody will register it I will not know that
anybody really need my programmer's efforts. All registered users
will receive all upgrades (if any) of this application.
About registration fee.
I intend to set a registration fee to $15. If you found a cheaper
tool or place (e.g. Psion customer support) to recover erased file
but still want to use my application I will agree with a half of
their price. If you think it costs more - I'll not bargain.
Registering for me other products as a fee is welcome - just ask
me what I want and name a maximum price you can pay.
ALL ABOVE ARE FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY!. If you want to use it in
commercial purpose you must receive written permission from me.
