Hello, I'm not quite sure what led to this, but I had a bunch of files (mainly DOS) zipped up and sitting in a directory on my FreeBSD drive - then one day I noticed a '/usr/local/lost+found' with a bunch of files in it with numbers for names. Eventually I figured out that these were the files I had in the archive directory, only now many were about 25% or so smaller in size. Under DOS, pkunzip is unable to extract these files saying they're corrupted. Is there any hope of repairing these files? Also, I'm curious how this lost+found directory works and what condition(s) might have caused (just) these files to be placed there. Thanks for your help! Gerard
