David Solan (kdavid at gizzmo.UUCP) posted on this subject about 1 year ago.

He also goes into this at length in "Objective Utilities", a software
package for the UNIX PC which includes nice things like Unremove,
Blinkoff, utilities to optimize file placement on hard drives, lots
of documentation on Unix PC filesystem bugs, etc.

I think Objective Utilities sells for around $125.00.

If you`ve ever deleted a file and immediately wished it would return,
type Unremove!
