Thanx-- I never thought to use undelete.
Anyway, it worked like a charm. Well, a very complicated charm, anyways.
Took me two days, but I did it. Two things worked in my favor. 1- I knew
the approximate size of the file, and 2- it was a file type that my file
manager (KDE2) didn't associate with an app.
Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out how to grep the files since grep gave me
grief over the number of args I was passing it. Oh well, I got it.
This time, I've backed up my revocation certificate *and* my secret key.
Bill, thanx so much for the help!
