My system went into weird mode and I ultimately lost my mail spool file, containing over a thousand messages. It might still be in /tmp. I deleted it so Elm would restart, not knowing what the system was screwed and the spool file got erased. One of the e-mail messages was about a program to restore erased files. I think I'm screwed but I need to try. Please post info on the program and where to get it. And no, it isn't on tape, because the damn 8mm tape drive has failed. Thanks.
