Restore IDL code from .sav file? [message #37478]

Twas the night before christmas and I did something incredibly stupid!

I edited a couple of .pro files in the wrong location (old versions of
files). In a moment of temporary insanity, I didn't realize that they
were old and different from the files in my working CVS directory, so I
copied them right over the top of my good files, which had MANY changes
I had made in the past 5 days and was just (really just) about to check
back in.

After testing the code, I realized what I had done. Aaaaagh!

Date of last incremental backup: 5 days ago, just after I started with
these changes. Nothing useful to recover from tape.

Emacs ~ backup files: None. (an emacs setting that I haven't changed yet
makes it so that when I edit files in a checked out CVS directory, it
doesn't make ~ backups).

Single strand of hope: I happen to have another recent IDLDE session
open. It has compiled versions of the pre-trashed files (but does not
have the source code in a buffer). I just made a .sav file of all the
routines, so at least the compiled versions are not lost.

Question: Is there any way to recover the actual source from the .sav
file or from my IDLDE session that has the compiled versions of the good
code?

Thanks and Merry Christmas.
