  Well, not exactly. I can get my money back that way but the bigger
problem is that I have the URLs and passwords to a lot of websites saved in
WS-FTP and I have no way to get the data out of it. I lost a lot of my
saved E-mail messages including many that had the passwords, account names
and URLs saved in them. I did manage to recover the WS-FTP data file that
had all that saved in it but without a working copy of WS-FTP I can't
access it. :-(
