I am trying to find out if there is any way to recover the output file
from a fortran program that was accidentally killed by one of our
operators. The output file from the program is still on disk, but if
you do a DIRECTORY/SIZE=ALL on it, it shows the size as 0/2344, which
I assume means that there is 2344 blocks of recoverable information
on the file. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get the information
back?

What this means to you is that the file had 2344 blocks of space on the disk allocated for the file but 0 blocks of it were used. Sorry to say that there is no information to recover. ------
