Thanks Ben and VirginSnow!  I'll take a look at it.

I think the filesystem got corrupted.  Scandisk reset the file size and 
therefore left lots of file fragments.

The *data* is a Juno 4 email folder.  The strings command is letting me 
get the text.  Unfortunately they stored the email headers and body 
separately and some genius thought to save the body first and then the 
header.  At least I can search for the text of individual emails while I 
investigate the possibility of putting the file back together.
