- There are a few around, available from DECUS if nowhere else. Try looking for
- "RECOVER" or "RESTORE" rather than "UNDELETE".
-
- However the odds of such a program being useful are fairly small, unless NO
- files have been created or extended on the volume from which files are to
- be 'undeleted'. Reason is that the first free disk blocks (clusters really)
- which are used for extending a file are the ones in the XQP's bitmap cache...
- which are almost always the ones most recently released by file deletions.
