I had ned of True Images capabilities this afternoon.

I modified a file and saved it over the old one. Later I realized I
needed some of the data that I had deleted from the old file.
Opened up TrueImage, went to a previous Full Image got the file and
saved it (different name) and closed True Image. Now I had  my old file
data and the new file data.
