    Help Recovering Deleted Btrieve Records

    It's even worse than Mirtheil said: when Btrieve deletes a record, it completely zeroes out all the bytes of the record so that even if you knew the exact disk address, you would find no data there. It's been this way since Version 1.0 way back when, and was done deliberately as a security...

    Date/Time Stamp from imported data in DDF Builder
