A long time ago I began my own full Assembler version that could do whole folder trees, but got sidetracked badly. It's still a useful idea and might have relevance to stevecs's BER discussion anyway, so I'll try and pick up the thread of that.
I will look into it, and study the BER discussion a bit more... because thats's exactly what i need. I have separate folders with files in them. No subfolders or anything. "root\folder\files" and a bunch of that.

The recovery program did a great job of returning the entire folder structure, which was great. I also downloaded "FastSum" and did a quick MD5 check of the recovered files, and the ones i had backed up. It was identical so i guess the files should be OK.
