- For the record, I've been using ReOrg on my 52 Meg Quantum in my
- A3000 for about 5 months(?) now, and it hasn't harmed it one bit.
- A verrrrrrry nice program, I think. :)

- As a first resort for retrieving a deleted file, I suggest trying
- DiskSalv with the FILE keyword, something like:
-
- DiskSalv from sys: to ram: FILE startup-sequence
-
- This also accepts wildcards in the filename, I believe.
