- Pekka: Yes, such files do exist. The best by far was "dBASE File
- Recovery," distributed by Ashton-Tate. After Borland acquired the
- company, they killed that program and several others. Now all that's
- left is Paul Heiser's program, and a similar one built into Norton
- Utilities. Fortunately, the author of A-T's program now works for
- Symantec/Norton, so good things are no doubt in store.
