Unlike the ancient Fortran/MACRO program, FLORIAN actually works! 8-) At least as well as any such program can under VMS. FLORIAN was written by Michael Gsandter . The source language is C, and the program runs under both OpenVMS VAX and OpenVMS AXP. Thanks, Michi! Note: any utility that claims to undelete files under VMS should be used with caution. FLORIAN is no exception---be sure you read the readme file. To its credit, FLORIAN depends on ANALYZE/DISK/REPAIR to actually recover the file after FLORIAN has marked the appropriate blocks as being in use. You can get FLORIAN via anonymous ftp from ftp.spc.edu; you'll need: [.MACRO32]UNZIP.EXE or UNZIP.ALPHA_EXE [.MACRO32.SAVESETS]FLORIAN.ZIP To get it via e-mail, send the following commands in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@WKUVX1.WKU.EDU: SEND FLORIAN !Comes as 2 60-block files SEND FILESERV_TOOLS !Needed if you don't have MFTU and UNZIP Hunter ------ Hunter Goatley, VMS Systems Programmer, Western Kentucky University goathunter@ALPHA.WKU.EDU (or goathunter@WKUVX1.BITNET)
