I'm impressed. I have spent the better part of an afternoon trying to
duplicate this feat, largely without success.
The only advice I can suggest is to first chesk all of your volumes for
any new files created at the time of the accident. If this dosen't turn
up any files, then you can try running HFSCK from the utilities page.
If your file is out in limbo somewhere on your disk, then HFSCK may
detect it. Anything recovered will be put into a directory called
lost+found. If HFSCK does not turn up anything, then it is gone.

Unfortunately, once a file is deleted on the file system used by CONSORT
32, all references to it are lost.

Sorry I can't be of much help. Unlike MAC's and IBM's, the CONSORT-32 has
no file recovery utilities.
