Re: [OT] unhosing .rev and .livecode files

Re: [OT] unhosing .rev and .livecode files

Hi Richmond, Glad to hear that you've been able to rescue most of your files. The Data Rescue programme I use is imaginatively called 'Data Rescue' by Prosoft. I don't think it would help in your case as I don't think the Mac version can recover non-Mac HDs. The reason I mention it is that it has

[OT] unhosing .rev and .livecode files

Aa all forensic software for digging in blanked hard drives seems to find the most obvious files, and NOT .rev and .livecode files I wonder if anyone has any bright suggestions how one might go about looking for them. Richmond. ___ use-livecode
