Hi, Don.  I used fatback.  I recovered almost everything from one partition -
fortunately this was the important partition.  The second one, the one with
holiday photos and family photos, must have been very badly mangled, though.
Both fatback and autopsy could see directory names, but no files in any of
the directories.  I have backups of many of the files, though, so the loss is
sad but not desperately important.

In fact faback can be directed to output to any directory you choose, so I
kept it right away from the originals.  I'll keep those two vfat partitions
until I'm certain I don't need to try anything further on them, then I'll
drop them and reclaim the space.
