That really ought to be `probably' (I was thinking of hacking restore
to make it scan on a few more files after the first `file' to see if
maybe there are some more directories around---this would not recover
from all such errors, but would handle most).

That should have been `item D'.

Oops, was not careful to use `that' when defining and `which' when
describing. (I was pressed for time---wanted to be out in time to
join the grad students in a small Halloween excursion....)
