Thanks all,

DialCoin don't seem to exist anymore - I cannot find where/how to contact them today....

I did have a print out of the codes but remember tossing it away as I didn't;t think it was going anywhere at the time.  Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

I'll keep searching for the Wallet.Dat file - I found two old HD's one with a PC (I'm now on MAC) backup from 2011- bit its date was April and I was mining/buying in Nov... sheesh...

ANY tips appreciated.

David.
