I don't know--you could try to use the htdb_recover program in the
htdb directory, but you might want to see below. BTW, if you've run
htmerge at this point, you're unlikely to recover more information
from them. The purpose of htmerge is to put the databases in a nice
consistent state, so it most likely tried it's best to figure them
out, then "cleaned them up."
>Are databases consistent when i press Ctrl-C running htdig?
Not necessarily. If you supply the -l flag to htdig, it will make
sure the databases are consistent and write out a list of the URLs it
still needs to index before exiting. Otherwise, the signal just kills
it in the middle and there's no guarantee it wasn't in the middle of
a write.
