The reason things are vague is because they are changing. If you want
detailed information about what you were running, look in the source
tree. The include files are particularly usefull.

This is a *very* delicate thing to want to do. If what's on the disks
is really valuable, and you didn't have backups, you might consider
contacting some of the people on the consultants list to see if any of
them have done this kind of thing before, then pay them to do it for
you.
