Heya Bob,  I lost the original thread, but this question comes
up every once in a while, for which I have an answer.  The user
may want to look into The Coroner's Toolkit, unrm, and lazarus.

Start here: http://www.porcupine.org/forensics/tct.html

It's pretty well respected, and there's an example writeup
using it on Dr. Dobbs.

Enjoy,
Matthew
