Ah, another case of "don't read the manual, read the source code."
Thanks for the info.

Regarding the "inside look at the Amiga FS" -- I'm working on it.  I
intended on it being a large (for USENET) article, but after an hour
of putting together an outline, it came to >120 lines!  If I keep that
outline, I'll have a sizeable BOOK in no time.  So I haven't decided
which way to take it ... but I am working on it.

I ended up recovering every byte of my hard disk, by the way.  If you
ever have to do it yourself, the best utility for it is Sectorama.
The version I used (Fish #109?) has a lot of misfeatures and even some
bugs, but it's better than anything else currently available.
