It is clear that some sites got munged files, but I can't judge from here
how many.  For the time being I won't repost them since Glen Overby has
them in correctly in his archives.  I imagine that many people are
offline this week, so the dust probably won't settle until January.
If almost everybody missed them, I'll repost.

Sorry about t10a, t10b, and t11b in Posting #33.  That confused a lot
of software.  Ditto for the three proto.h files which are indeed empty.
Some day the ANSI prototypes will go there.

I will eventually drop mkfs and fsck from the initial menu.

Glen noted that there is a hook in FS for unremoving a file.  Actually
it is more than a hook.  It is now a full-fledged part of the system.
Try the following:

date >x
rm x
recover x

You will be pleasantly surprised by getting x back.  Actually 'recover'
is just a front end to Terrence Holm's 'de' program, which was previously
posted, and which I will repost when I get around the commands subdirs.
I already posted 'recover'.
