Hi All
  Is there any way to recover a file that was accidentally saved as a binary
file when it should have been saved as a standard text based source code
file?  I was working on a huge source code file (way too big to start over)
when my computer crashed, BSOD'd and rebooted. I save my work-in-progress
compulsively and I had saved the file moments before the crash, but when I
reload the file in MSVC it opens as a binary file. The crash somehow
corrupted my file and I need to recover it if at all possible. Any ideas?
