I had the same problem and wrote a short program to do an ascii
dump of the complete directory, including deleted entries.
I printed this out and reeentered anything I needed by hand.
(This was alot easier than tring to rebuild
the whole file.)
I could Email or post the recovery program if anyone wants it.
The .phdir file structure is documented in one of the manuals.
