[comp.unix.questions] Undeleting files?

6600bori@ucsbuxa.ucsb.edu (Boris Burtin) (02/28/91)

I know that it's possible to undelete files on DOS disks, so I would think
that it should be possible to do so in Unix too.  Is there a "PC Tools" or
such for Unix that allows you to restore deleted files?
