Thanks Matt.... I owe you one...
I lost only about 10% of the total file set... I guess because of
netscape caching pages and my searching for the files. It took me a
while to figure out that I had lost them. Luckily, I had just copied
some of the files from floppies (and then wiped the floppies :/ ) but I
ended up being able to recover part of the data from them.
My thesis is saved. :)
thanks again
