It is a not too complicated task. The steps:
1. Save the file into a *SAVF.
2. crate a simple pgm to copy a file to another. The rec. len of the
input file must be 528. 512 + 16. 512 chrs. - the data in the file
saved.
3. run the program when the input file is the save file.
4. from output file extract the data fom first 512 chrs. in the record.
all the records in your file, deleted and not deleted are there, except
the first chrs. in deleted records are changed to deletion code and must
be replaced again.
