Absolutely. The version hidden away is given a distinct file name. I've got as many as a dozen versions of some old files lying around. > I'll have a look around to see what's available on the Mac platform, > but that may take longer than just rescanning it. > > - Dave Unfortunately Norton System Works for the Mac appears to have been discontinued in 2004, so that isn't a very good option (although I'm sure that version, which was updated for OS X, should still run just fine on any current Mac, if you can find a copy). A quick google suggests Data Recycler from macsense.com.au) may be worth a look, although it's not cheap. TechTool Pro from Micromat is another possibility at around the same price point. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
