[jug-discussion] OpenOffice file format

2002-08-14 Thread Paul Scott

For whoever I was talking to last night as well anyone else interested:

The OpenOffice file format at least at version 1.0 (StarOffice 6.0) is
zipped XML.  That sounds like a pretty available and useable choice.

 Hi all,

 done this before this is the first time I've had serious problems
 recovering. Does anyone have Disk Warrior for Mac?
 
 I would be eternally grateful.
 
 Strange thing is, I can half-boot, all my services are running, but it
 refuses to login and start. I can even see the drive from OS 9 and from
 another system connected to it (just incredibly slow). I have tried all the
 things on Apple Knowledge Base and looked through MacinTouch.com,
 DiskWarrior was mentioned there as a possible solution.
 
 Hoping one of the AMO guys has something =).

What file system does OS X use?  I am currently writing something to 
recover files from an ext2 file system which had all its superblocks 
written over.  I'm using Perl at the moment and may switch to C. Do you 
have a description of the details of the file system?
