Can i undelete a savefile?

[jpo]

Unfortunately, I'm not sure there's much you can do AFTER the fact. 
When I was playing Angband or ToME, I found that I would often do 
stupid things.  So I got in the habit of making backups of the save 
files.  That saved my ass more than once.

As far as I know, though, once the character is dead, he's dead. 
OTOH, though, I'm sure there's some 'dead flag' or some such in the 
save file, that if you could edit the hex code, then you could fix it.

Try asking about at the tomeNET forums.  They might be able to help 
you, or at least point you in the right direction.  ToME is a very 
similar game to Angband, as you may know.


best of luck to you.

John
