Hi Tom,
I thought 'Data Rescue' might work .... but, unfortunately not in
OSX10.3.7
No, there is no tool on the market that can recover deleted files
without being loaded ahead-of-time. OS X (UNIX) writes over your
deleted file immediately, impeding recovery (this was different in
previous operating systems that were not based on UNIX). Our other
product, Data Recycler can prevent this from happening by protecting
you from this type of data loss in the future.
In Classic Mac OS, this is not the case. Frequently, you will be able
to recover deleted files as long as the operating system has not reused
their directory and catalog information yet. You have the best chance
of recovering your deleted files if you do a Data Rescue Volume Scan
immediately after realizing that you deleted files you actually want.
Data Rescue (if you haven't already 'overwritten the files').
