Hi
 On one of the disk images I was recovering, someone had deleted
the wrong copy of the program. The broken one was in the normally
readable directory while the good one was marked deleted.
I was able to recover this from a complete image.
 Of course, there is always the bits of confidential information
that gets onto disk that was never intended to be archived
forever ( still of interest to some future generation ).
