I have a question concerning undeleting of files under DOS. From looking at the fat tables on diskettes, it would appear that DOS will clear out the fat when you delete a file. But in the directory, it will keep the address of the first cluster of the file. But where is the rest of the information necesssary to undelete a file ?? I have checked what I thought to be the second copy of the fat, and it (of course) matches the first copy. So, where does DOS hide the information necessary to undelete a file ? Somewhere it must keep the chain of clusters that the file is in. Please respond by mail directly. I can summarize to the net later. Barbara Hicks ....... bjhicks@trillium.waterloo.edu
