- Not sure if a NeXT has the 'dd' command but if it does, try:
-
- dd if=badfile of=newfile bs=1 conv=noerror
-
- which will try to copy badfile to newfile but try to ignore errors if they
- occur. The bs=1 will cause it to run a bit longer than if you used a larger
- block size but you should be able to restore more of the file this way.
-
- Of course, there's no way to tell whether Frame is going to puke on what's
- left of the file.
-
- Good Luck!
