Thanks, Tzafrir. I'm not having much luck with these, as they only
find files of types familiar to them. The files that I'm seeking are
.amr files (nokia sound files), and there do not seem to be any
'recipies' for them. I wonder how the Windows tools work, as they
allow one to browse the filesystem as a regular gui file manager, but
they show deleted files as well. They are so efficient that it
sometimes is a pain to browse directories with so many files!
