  I would like to know what is the best method
for recovering files where due to a system error
some text file has "garbage" characters mixed in
such that the text file can no longer be opened
with, say, MacWrite.  If I try to read such a 
file I can find chunks of the original file
intermingled with characters which when read
crash the operating system. 
   Please e-mail any answers directly to me;
thank you.
