- On our system, we have a set of commands which allow this action. The
- first command is aliased to 'rm'. When used, instead of erasing the
- file, it moves it to a separate directory. Files in this directory
- are maintained for one day (or user setable amount of time). Latter,
- if you want to 'unerase' the file, you issue the command 'unrm' with
- the full pathname of the file. The file is then retreived from the
- directory and restored in the original directory.
-
- Unfortunately, I don't know where we got these commands or if someone
- here hacked it up. It's quite nice to have though.
