Time Machine Help! Recover an untitled/unsaved TextEdit doc accidentally closed?

[honeychurch2]

Just an update that may prove helpful to anyone wanting to recover files from a core dump: I asked a few people more knowledgeable about this stuff than I am, and basically what they said was that it's possible that the contents of the file may be able to be extracted, but only with the program's source code, or its debugging symbols. Neither of which I have, of course. Not to mention that I don't have time to learn how to use GDB, or increase my extremely limited knowledge of Obj-C. While I could look for ASCII strings that represent the lost data, it's really not worth that much trouble.

I hope this info proves useful for someone else, though.
