[comp.sys.mac.programmer] URGENT!: Recovering lost files

lcrew@andromeda.rutgers.edu.rutgers.edu (Louie Crew) (12/31/90)

A friend editing a document in MicroSoft Word just called to say that when
he attempted to load a file saved only minutes earlier, the program 
could not find the file.  He has only a backup copy for a version many 
hours earlier.  I told him not to turn off the computer in the likelihood
that he should probably run a few more checks to recover the file in case 
it is still somewhere in the memory of the computer.

I would know some tricks to recommend were he using ms-dos.  Are there
tricks to recommend on the mac, or should he just turn off the computer,
drink and glass of bourbon, and sleep?  

Thanks.

Louie Crew
