- Phoenix File Recovery Utility
- By Mark Brooks
-
- ###################################################################
- I Do not guarantee in any way the accuracy of any data recovered!!
- ###################################################################
-
- Installing: Receive the file PHOENIX.EXE down to your PC as a
- binary file. If you are running OS/2 1.2 or greater bring down the
- file PHOENIX2.EXE instead.
-
- The Forum for the OS/2 version of Phoenix is called PHOENIX FORUM
- on YKTVMV. Since this is an after hours project please don't expect
- any real support.
-
- Please make sure that while you are using Phoenix to recover a
- deleted file from a disk drive that no other I/O activity is taking
- place on that drive.
-
- The sooner you use PHOENIX after a file has been erased, the higher
- the chances of recovering ANY data.
-
- Do not place any recovered files on the same disk drive you are
- recovering from until after the recovery process is finished.
-
- If Phoenix fails to recover your file(s) you can still try nortons
- data recover utilities if you have access to this product and if you
- can reboot your system under dos ( for FAT disks only).
-
-
- When recovering data from an HPFS (High Performance File System)
- Drive Phoenix will take a considerable amount of time to analysis
- the disk. This process can take up to ONE HOUR for very large
- disks!!! Please be patient but also once you have analysed a HPFS
- disk be aware that if you switch to a different disk all the
- analysis data will be lost. Phoenix will NOT lockup you system
- During this analysis so you can continue to work on other activities
- but avoid changing the data on the disk being analysis at ALL
- COST.
-
- Future Plans:
-
- Phoenix is currently unsupported and unfunded so all changes and
- updates to the product will be done after hours (as was the original
- development of the product).
-
- I Do however plan to release future updates to improve the product
- and to keep pace with changes in OS/2 ( ie 32 bit OS/2 2.0 ect.)
-
- I am also looking a ways to improve its speed on an HPFS drive...
-
- Any bug reports or suggestions for improvements can be appended to
- the PHOENIX forum.

- CHANGES AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
- Version 0.92
- Feb 25, 1991
-
- The following fixes and changes have been made since the last release:
-
- - Added cancel Button on the disk selection dialog.
-
- - Slight modifications to dialogs and text description.
-
- - Added application to the task list.
-
- - Fixed the quit/HPFS trap-D.
-
- - Added "QUICK" INITIALIZATION for HPFS Drives. Heres how this
- works: At any time during the Loooong analysis of the
- HPFS Disk you can hit the Quit button. The analysis will
- be halted but the program will not terminate. Instead the
- data gathered during the "Partial" analysis will be
- displayed normally. Such partial analysis can be useful on
- large drives that have only a faction of their total space used.
- If the file you where looking for was not found then you should
- follow through with the complete analysis.
