Some of the original DRI archives I sent to Gaby are examples especially of
the working disks that were never distributed outside of DRI. On these
disks that contain up to three versions (*.A86, *.BAK, and the deleted file)
of the source code being developed I included teledisk images so people
could look at these unique disks byte by byte.

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 ).
