We just had an entire thread on this.  OS X is much less forgiving than 
OS 9 in such a situation.  There are file recovery programs that work 
well, but really they only work well if your drive's directory becomes 
corrupted or if your drives is otherwise damaged.  They don't work well 
if you trash files you didn't mean to trash.

The best of the lot is:
