Thank you! It worked.

I bought your software yesterday to recover a 7GB tar file that was my entire "Documents and Settings" directory from my laptop which is going in for service. Some of the documents were \*extremely\* important like my Quicken data, invoices for my business, and tax preparation summary for my accountant.
The freebie version showed that it could apparently repair everything I lost, so I bought and registered the software. When I ran it, it saved Docs\_fixed.tar, and I ran a \*tar xvf\* on it. It died with errors and passed up most of the contents.
However, I re-ran the tar command with filename arguments to just extract the ones I was interested in (my whole "Finances"
directory), and by God, it got them all in perfect condition.
I just want to say thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. If there's anything I can do for you in the future (fruit basket at Christmas, wash your car, pick up your laundry, sexual favors) I am indebted to you, your company, and your software.
You guys rock.
