This shifted the binary file to another place but that's it.  I spose I need 
to find out why these are binary files and not merely copies of the 
directories.  Unison may have done it or they may have come from a Samba 
share on a network harddrive.  The said file is approximately the same size 
as the directory that disappeared that's why I want to get at its contents.  
Anyone else have a clue how to get at this data?
