[comp.sys.mac] PD program for recovering HFS files?

[My programs got eaten, so why not this line?]

Hi all!  My mouse went on a rampage last night on a 800K HFS disk,
throwing some things in the trash that it thought I didn't want.  Is there
a PD program that will undelete files (perhaps in a folder)?
Unfortunately, one of the files was Fedit 3.2, which *might* helped me in
my quest for my data that crummy mousie so indiscriminately chucked away.
If such a program exists, could someone please let me know where it could
be found?  Could Fedit 3.2 (or greater??) have helped?

Please mail responses directly to me.  Thank you VERY much for your help!  

A quick summary about what happened with MacTools 6.4 trying to recover
FEDIT: It found a whole bunch of deleted files, but couldn't name them or
find their creator.  I recovered all the files onto another disk, viewed
each file until I found the Fedit program.  Changed type to APPL and tried
to run it.  Result: Sysbomb, Can't Load Code Resource 0.  Resedit can't
find the resources either.  I assume MacTools can't recover the beginning
part of the structure of the file.  "Drat!" as they say...
