is anyone familiar with Microsoft File?  We use it at our company here
and recently a floppy (400k MFS) with an important document (they had no
backup of course!) went south.  We used Symanteks SUM utilities to 
get the file back, all data appears to be there when I look at the file
in Res-Edit or whatever, but when I try and load it into MS File it
says the data format is bad (probably bad in 1 sector, since it loads for
quite a while before I get the message).

Any ideas on how I can get MS File to accept this thing as good,
considering probably 90%+ of the file is intact?
