About giis:
==========
gET iT i sAY.giis  is a text based file recovery tool.
It's much more reliable and efficient than giis version 1.0.0
You recover files morethan 8.04MB in size.
giis is a little bit of work for open source from my part.

How to install:
==============  
Copy giis folder into  /root
Then type, cd /root/giis
Then type, make
Then mv ./giis /usr/bin
To run type, ./giis
That's it.

Note:
----
This LEVEL_VALUE is different from previous in the sense that it here we don't have any
duplicate records where are in giis1 we do have copies a file LEVEL_VALUE times.
If you set LEVEL_VALUE 4 then you will have a file copy 4 times.

Unlike giis1 in giis2 we have default support of about 12 levels of directory penetrations.
for ex,dir1/dir2/dir3/.../dir12.I hope most files will fall into this range.
If you want level more than 12 say 20 then just reset LEVEL_VALUE to 19.


LEVEL_VALUE is macro found at /giis/giis.h file.

Limitations and Future Versions:
================================
Advantages over giis.v1:
---------------------
*files More than 8.04 MB can be recovered. 
*Here Specific user files and Specific file can also be recovered.
*LEVEL_VALUE limitation is eliminated. 
*Efficient storage mgmt.
*Duplication is avoided.
*Tested for bugs quite a long period.

Limitations:
------------

Future versions:
---------------
