What could be smaller than REST2514?

That looks very tidy. I'll say nothing more about it now,
it will take some testing before I know if I want to keep
it. I will say that I had been using 'Recover98', a small
slightly hacked tool a guy in Germany got to me in
Napster's prime. I was experimenting with MP3 headers and
other binaries as payload to sneak them through Napster.
He got it to me that way. It rules, but REST2514 may be
even neater. It will take me a while to know...

I don't think you're talking about this:

http://www.freedownloadscenter.com/U...Maintenance_an
d_Repair_Utilities/Recover98.htm

That's a $170 500KB program - and while it can undelete
individual files, it is designed for major recovery from a
crashed or file system corrupted-HDs, and stuff like that, and
it will take HOURS to do it. I haven't tried it yet, but unless
you shell out the $170, only 3 files can be recovered with the
demo version. And if this is anything like the other programs I
have, it will search the ENTIRE drive before it lets you choose
what 3 files to recover. A ROYAL PITA.

There are quite a few of those around - R-Studio is well known
(and less than 1/3 rd the price), there is Easy Recovery, etc.

I've had Easy Recovery for ages, it's a 5MB install and it works
great - it once recovered the vast majority of a crashed HD. But
it took about a day - it was a slow computer, but still...

Totally different animal.

If there IS another Recover98, let me know, But, being driven
CRAZY by the stupid REST2514 "no dll" bug, I have searched, and
there is almost nothing out there except a few expensive
programs which don't work as well.

Instead, all [Rhino's compilation] "Total" does is to reinforce
the idea that Joy Division/New Order was a hugely exciting
source of music between 1978 and 1990 and New Order has been a
pitiful shadow of their once-visionary selves ever since.
