HELP. I recently was loading a project into 3DS to show a friend and, talking as I was loading, inadvertently hit save instead of load and used the project filename as the file to be saved, DUH!!! Of course this saved an empty project over the existing. I have a backup tape but several hours of work fell into the crack. Any quick way to retrieve the original? Thanx Don

The automatic backup system should've been on (the system default), and in that case, it would've written a files called PRJ.BAK to your hard disk that can be renamed to whatever.prj and it'll contain the overwritten file. – G
