Well, it's gone. I bought "Data Rescue 2" and spent the afternoon
trying to recover but no luck. It's not quite as desperate as I
thought initially as I have a copy of the source from about 3 weeks
ago on a machine at work. Still, it's a major PITA.
After calming down, I thought through what the app did and it still
seems exceedingly strange to me. The delete only affected the files
(and their containing directories) included in the Xcode project from
which the app was compiled. Other Xcode projects at the same level
are all fine. "Miraculously" only the stuff I need was deleted.
I did manage to recover ".o" files for the deleted sources. Is there
any way to decompile those back into usable files?
Thanks
Ken

I've used this with some success in the past.
VERY IMPORTANT!!
STOP USING THE AFFECTED MACHINE IMMEDIATELY!!!
Any operation on the affected machine risks the possibility that
newly created files (temp files, mail, etc.) can overwrite the
files you want to un-delete. Use another machine and load your file
salvage software on this other machine. Then mount the affected
disk you want to search for files on as a FireWire Target disk.
This way no newly created files can overwrite the deleted files
from your project.
good luck,
Ralph
