You could use Ql prog DISCED to insert dataspace value into the directory entry on a floppy, not sure about the WINAnother night owl !
I'd forgotten that programs are harder to recover. I remember using the LRESPR/SEXEC pairs to save such recovered files, with the file length and data length being set by trial and error.
Deleted files in DOS are easily restored just by re-entering the first char' of the file name, I don't recall what the convention is in QDOS or what happens in the win file.

I would take a look at your file if you windows zipped it together with a DOS text dir list done in QL mode, obviously via email.
