I have a Rainbow with a 10 Meg hard disc and 2 floppy drives. I am running DOS 2.1. I erased my xywrite directory by typing "del *.* fon" instead of "del *.fon". (a hard lesson well learned) so, Is there any recovery leads any one can help me with -- I called DEC, DECUS, asked our local mavens, and a generous gentleman in Washington DC who suggested dumping everything from the hard drive to floppies-- Is there a version of Norton for this machine? I tried bouncing Norton UD 4.0 off the VAX to the Rainbow drive B: It didn't work. It's about 900,000 K in about 180 files. Thanks David Williams williams@hulaw1.bitnet williams@hulaw1.harvard.edu +1 617 646-7442
