Hi:  Recently, I was using Uniterm 2.0e to download a binary file from my
local mainframe using Kermit.  The file transfer worked and Uniterm saved
the file, but the directory entry is not on the disk. I know the data is on
the disk because I used a sector editor to find it {that was easy...it was a
fresh disk}.  Is there anyway I can reconstruct the file?  Even on a temporary
basis so I can copy the data cleanly?  The file was about 180K long and I
would hate to have to re-download the file.  I don't know too much about the
format of directory entries or where the directory sectors are on the disk
so any info would be appreciated!
