The following program has been posted to net.sources.mac.

The following is a program I wrote to help me recover trashed documents
and disks that get brought in to me. You might consider it a poor man's
disk and file recovery program with a few added features. It is called
File Tricks and is neither elegant nor flashy, but does its job. I could
have spent a lot more time on user interface and added utility, and I
probably will. As it stands, it works so I feel others might benefit from
it. The accompanying documents are general discussions on recovering files
and disks and they refer to the use of File Tricks. At presnt, they are
the only documentation of the program. The file must be unpacked with
UnPit (or Packit) after BinHex'ing.
