Maybe someone can help me.  I made a slight miscalculation in a C program that
I was writing this afternoon, and it trashed my System file.  I copied a new
System onto my hard disk, and everything is up and running.

But, there are all of these sounds, DAs, and fonts in the old system that I
would like to have, since I don't have any copies of them (stupid me).  If
I try to open it up, I get an eofErr (-39), which is a "logical end of file
reached during read operation" error.  Now, I have this 2.1MB file that I
can't read.

Does anyone know of some software that could possibly repair this?

-Michael
