Though it may be a bit late now, if the computer has lots of memory then he could have run 'strings' on the memory and recovered at least portions of the text. Booting into a lower runlevel (after the crash) will of course demand less system memory, which means that more of the file may still be in memory.

Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
