     RECALL is a compiled Clipper PRG program.  It is 'freeware'.  No fee
     is expected for it's use.  It's  purpose  is  to  search  RoboComm's
     NEWxx.DBF (the database that keeps track of new (Available) files on
     the BBS's you call)  for  records  that have been  MARKED as deleted,
     and 'undelete' them.    Note that when you delete a record, RoboComm
     only MARKS it as deleted.   The  information pertaining to that file
     is still there until the database is packed, either by choosing PACK
     from the exit menu, or using the '/p' command line switch.  Once you
     do that, the information is removed from the database, and also from
     it's associated  indices and  the DBV file.   RECALL,  or  any other
     program for that matter, cannot  salvage the information under those
     circumstances. It is gone for good.

     RECALL does the same as highlighting a deleted file and pressing the
     DEL key.   It  is intended  to be  used when you have a lot of files
     marked deleted that you don't want to delete.  For instance, if  you
     have done a  'bulk delete'  and screwed it up, or  changed your mind.
     There is no 'bulk undelete' key in RoboComm, so the only way to keep
     those files is to  highlight  each one and press the DEL key.  Until
     now!   OK, so  you  may not  need RECALL very often, but it comes in
     handy when you do.  And, remember, it's free!

     To use RECALL, simply type 'recall' at the DOS prompt.   The program
     will attempt to open the  database  that stores the  available files.
     This file is called NEW30.DBF for version 3.0 and 3.1, and NEW40.DBF
     for version 4.0.   If it cannot find this file,  it will tell you so.
     If you're using a pre 3.0 version of RoboComm,  RECALL will not work,
     but you should upgrade anyway.

     RECALL can reside anywhere,  but you must be in the  directory where
     you keep your  RoboComm  files  when  you invoke it. If you shell to
     DOS from RoboComm while viewing the  'Available' files  list and use
     RECALL, files may still say 'DEL' next to them. This is because when
     returning from a 'shell',  RoboComm  rewrites  the screen  that  was
     being  displayed  at  the  time  you  pressed  F7.  If you leave the
     available files list then return, RoboComm will re-read the database
     file and  display  the  delete status correctly. The source code has
     been included for any Clipper users that wish to play with it.
