Does anyone out there  know how to undelete file in the way that Norton or PC tools
does ?

I know the theory about how when a file is deleted, the data is still intact, and the
first character in the filename(in the FAT) is marked as deleted. However, I do not 
have a scooby about  how you would read from and write to the FAT.
