	While testing some software I managed to screw up the root directory
on one of my hard disk partitions. The drive in question is only used for
backup so all files on it are contigious. I can find the subdirectory info
useing a disk editor and it looks like it's all there so all I need is to
write a program to read a directory entry and write the data to a new file in a
different partition. I can write a program to do this but don't feel like
reinventing the wheel if I don't have to. Anyone know a PD or for sale program
that will do this?
