And the winner is ... Martin Simmons!!!

Absolutely brilliant. I have now recovered some files from beyond where it was
sticking before, and hopefully now can recover everything I need where I still 
have
the file volumes.

Another useful snippet to add to my arsenal.

Just one extra piece of info for anyone who comes across this email in the 
archives
some time, bls with the "-v" flag lists the FileIndex value for each file it
outputs, so you can easily find the numbers you need.

As the Rugby League legend Brian Carney said in a TV interview a while ago "I'm 
as
chuffed as a rabbit with two d**ks!", before being reminded by the interviewer 
that
he was live on national TV!

Thanks very much Martin!
