Hi, I was following the tutorial over at  
[http://ferret.davebalmain.com/api/files/TUTORIAL.html](http://ferret.davebalmain.com/api/files/TUTORIAL.html) but when I tried  
to index a local directory, all the files were replaced by two new files  
called segments and segments\_0. Is it possible to restore the original  
files? Thanks
