Also - when you delete a file, all that is done is it removes the first character of the file name in the FAT It erases nothing! gowin.exe changes to _owin.exe

That is how you UNDELETE a file you just have to add the first character back in.

How all that old basic stuff comes back - I haven't thought of that for ### years!

How long have I been doing this? Back in the ARPANET days, I was TIMESDOMAIN system username CLOCK aka Tick-Tock ---- ahhh reminiscing back to the days of 8k pages and systems running off the "color crystal" a blazing 1.44mhz

"...and systems running off the "color crystal" a blazing 1.44mhz "

Speaking of remembering old stuff, that "color crystal" would have been 3,579,545 Hz. Aw heck, while I am at it, the vertical freq would be 59.94 Hz, and the horizontal would be 15,734 Hz. Lets see...was it the blanking interval that was 62.5 microseconds?.....it's all a little fuzzy, I haven't dealt with NTSC in nearly 10 years.

Do I win the pocket protector?
