[muglo] Undeleting files in OS X

Here's a blurby from Micromat makers of Tech Tool Pro:

"Can I use TechTool Pro 4 to recover files I accidentally deleted?


Chances of recovering deleted files in Mac OS X are slim. TechTool  
Pro 4's data recovery routines were designed to try to recover files  
from corrupted drives that don't mount on the desktop. If TechTool  
Pro 4 was installed prior to the deletion, you had it configured to  
save Protection files for the volume, and one was saved just prior to  
the deletion, then the data recovery routines *may* be able to  
recover a deleted file assuming no portion of it has already been  
overwritten. The larger the file and the longer since deletion, the  
smaller the chance of recovery. Mac OS X writes regularly to the disk  
in the background and often overwrites deleted data. If Protection  
was not configured properly prior to a file deletion, then TechTool  
Pro 4 will probably not be able to help recover the file."

I think Thersa may be out of luck.
