Does anyone know how to recover an unclosed file on AmigaDOS? I
just did a raytrace on TS and wouldn't you know it.....I crashed it
at 94.7% completion. I'm running DiskX on the file but it is still
scanning for links. DiskX had never recovered anything for me. Is
there any util out there that can recover an unclosed on deleted
file?

Please email vho@ucsd.edu

That's one I've never looked at real closely. If you have DiskSalv 1.4x, you can scan your disk for that file; it certainly won't hurt anything to try. Assuming the unclosed file named "FileXX" is somewhere on device DXX:, you'd invoke DiskSalv like this: DiskSalv DXX: RAM: FILE FileXX That'll cause DiskSalv to scan the entire DXX: device and only store files that match the pattern you give to the file option -- in this case, the FileXX name as an exact match. If you try it, pleace let me know what happens. I'll certainly try it myself, as this is one situation I haven't really analyzed much. > -Viet Dave Haynie Commodore-Amiga (Systems Engineering) "The Crew That Never Rests" {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!daveh PLINK: hazy BIX: hazy Too much of everything is just enough -- Dave Haynie Commodore-Amiga (Systems Engineering) "The Crew That Never Rests" {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!daveh PLINK: hazy BIX: hazy Too much of everything is just enough

I've used DiskSalv to recover files ever since I found the file on a local BBS back in July of 1987 when I had my 500. Now, with a 2000HD, I've had to use it quite a bit more, and it works great! I just: disksalv FROM fh1: TO df0: FFS ASK after deleting an important file, as I too often do, and I've never had any problems, except for losing data under DiskSalv 1.3 after aborting it, but the hard drive was in pretty bad shape before that, so. . . +-------------------+--------------------------------------------------------+ | John A.

I just: >disksalv FROM fh1: TO df0: FFS ASK This is probably a dumb question so excuse my ignorance but I was wondering... It it possible to undelete a file in RAM ? I would doubt it but I'd just thought I'd ask all you experts out there. 8^) +-----------------------------------------------------------------------| | // Michael Drues | | \X/ Internet: drues@atanasoff.cs.iastate.edu | | Bitnet: v2.med@isumvs.bitnet | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+

A program named "Undelete" by Dan Schein may do the job. I recently
downloaded a large file, and on the last block, Xmodem locked up on me. When I
tryed to open it, all I got was an Empty file. I "deleted" the file(Regularly)
and then used this program (Undelete) when it was 'undeleted' it ended up
working and being full(As opposed to the empty file it was before). If you
need this file I would be more than happy to send it to you.
