Hi. I've got an old Mac Plus with an external hard drive I<br />
use for word processing. It has System 6.01 and I am running<br />
Word 4 on it. By accident I trashed some files and emptied the <br />
trash. I have not turned the computer off. I currently have<br />
no utility software. <br />
<br />
Is it possible to recover those files and how do I obtain <br />
software and instructions to do it?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

Can I recover files?

Apple's early computers ran on a variety of operating systems, including a Pascal version and one based on CP/M, before releasing its ProDOS with the advent of its 16-bit computer. With the release of the Lisa, which had its own OS, Apple and computing entered the graphical age; it was followed by the Macintosh, which offered a series of "System" operating systems. Other Mac operating systems included PowerPC until Apple acquired NeXT and folded it into the Mac OS. Current operating systems for Apple devices are Mac OS-X and iOS.
