[SunHELP] how to recover from lost+found

[lee]

this also doesn't work. since backups are running, i
cannot recover right now, so i am trying to recover as
much as possible from this directory.

bash-2.03# file "*33"
*33:            cannot open: No such file or directory
bash-2.03# file "?000013"
?000013:        cannot open: No such file or directory
