RECOVERING A LOST FILE At times a file gets locked, and just unlocking it is not sufficient to recover the contents of the file. The program RECOVER will unlock a file, and close the file at its logical end of file. In this way a once locked file may be both unlocked and be made readable by the editor. To use RECOVER RUN $RECOVER REC>FILSPECIFIER The file specifier must be complete. No wild cards are allowed.
