File Recovery Utility
by Nick Smith

This program recovers files which contain defective sectors. When run, the program adds its icon to the icon bar. Clicking Menu over this icon displays a menu containing the usual Info and Quit options, plus two others, Status and Cancel.

Choosing the Status option toggles the status dialogue box between open and closed. Clicking Select over the icon bar icon has the same effect. Dragging a file (or directory) icon to the icon bar icon results in a dialogue box being displayed, allowing the object to be copied to a new location. The dialogue box works in the same way as a conventional 'Save as:' dialogue box.

Saving the file causes the status dialogue box to be displayed, and file recovery to commence. During the recovery process, the status dialogue box displays information on the process. Clicking Select over the Cancel icon or choosing the Cancel option from the menu will abort the operation. Clicking Select over the Pause icon will toggle the operation between paused and running.
