It is really no suprise. Changing a single bit in an archived file is much worse than a single bit in a regular file. In the archive that one bit will effect many bytes so recovery would be very difficult. On the other hand a bit in a regular file only effects one byte. No big deal even for most applications if you're lucky. One question though, by trashed what do you mean? Accidently deleted or a HD crash? If it was deletion I would worry about the PC Tools recovery system...
