Squeak ate my day's work! (or: how do I get my code out of an image?)

Good afternoon everyone,

I was happily Squeaking along at work today, when the machine which shared
my image, changes, and VM file crashed.  VM and image remained up and
running, but I could no longer browse code.  (Message Not Understood:
isSeperator) I've had this happen before, and simply waiting for the
machine to come back up and doing a save as... and restarting right where
I left off from the newly saved image.

Today, that didn't work.

I managed to copy the image file (Windows 2000 at the GUI and command line
level tells me "The specified network name is no longer available" when I
try to copy the changes file).  However, when I open up the image file, I
can't file out any of the reconscructed (by the decompiler) code.

My questions:

1. I still have the broken image up and running.  Is there *anything* I
can do to restore the image and changes files?  Attempting to save on a
local drive doesn't work, as it cannot access the original changes file.

2. If I'm only left with the image file, is there any way to salvage my
code from it?

Any and all help would be appreciated...

Thanks!
Aaron
