G'day mates,

Once upon a time there were programs such as PC-Tools and Norton 
Utilities that would enable you to easily undelete files (subject to 
the usual restrictions).  So, when I wanted to simply *test* undelete 
on a floppy this evening, for the first time in about 15 years, I 
cranked up NU from Symantec SystemWorks 2003 expecting it to work just 
fine.

But, of course, Symantec's programmers being such dimwitted 
narrow-minded geeks, it's no longer possible to do such a simple job 
simply!  This "modern" version assumes you would *only* ever want to 
undelete files on your C drive as the only partition on your hard 
disk, and therefore it can't be done from a working Windows system!
(I expect it will work just fine for files on other drives and/or 
partitions, but you don't get the option to try from Windows AFAICS.)

So, anyone care to recommend a small utility to achieve this end?  
There was a time when I could probably have used a disk hex editor to 
do the job myself, but I've  forgotten the necessary characters to 
find and change in the filenames in the directory listing. 8-)  
Anyway, why bother with that when there's probably something out there 
which is simple and free to use?

A bit of googling came up with something called FlopShow 1.2
<http://paradiseprogramming.tripod.com/flopshow.html>
which looks to be both small and free.  Has anyone tried it?  Or have 
other recommendations?

Thanks for your time.


Cheers, Phred.
