The Original Amiga Disk Recovery ToolvTMv
Now Better Than Ever!
DiskSalv 3 is the first commercial version of DiskSalv. Developed by
Dave Haynie and published by Intangible Assets Manufacturing, it is
the fourth major revision of DiskSalv, and it offers features never
before found in DiskSalv or other Amiga disk utilities. While it
would be difficult to list every new feature of DiskSalv 3 in a
reasonably short announcement letter, new features include:
* A Hot New Look
The DiskSalv 2 user interface has been completely reworked. While
the best features have been retained, much has been improved. The
font sensitivity is better than ever -- why should a utility tell
you which font you must use? The overall look is cleaner, with
graphical queues throughout that enhance operations without making
undue demands on your system's memory or pretending to be a video
game. Gadgets and help texts are context sensitive. Device
selection throughout is drag-and-drop, though of course enhanced list
selection is still available for the asking. Interactive AmigaGuide
links are provided for every gadget and menu function, available at
the press of the HELP key.
* An Ounce of Prevention...
A disk can now be checked for troubles without actually making any
repairs, for extra confidence. Deleted directories, files, and data
can be permanently erased for added security, program releases, etc.
Traditional full or incremental backups are supported, in the same
style as DiskSalv's recovery functions.
* ...And a Pound of Cure
You still get traditional DiskSalv functions, only better.
Undeletes can often be performed in-place. A fully redesigned
filter mechanism supports pattern matching on full pathnames,
file notes, dates, file sizes, and/or protection bits. Pattern
matches can be used to include a file in a scan, exclude it, or stop
a scan on a match. Any number of filter groups may be active at the
same time, and such groups may be loaded from disk.
* When Time Counts
A new intelligent prefetching disk cache, buffered file I/O, and
improved internal design makes DiskSalv faster than ever. The
scroll bar calculations have been refined for greater accuracy.
* There's Nothing to Lose
Device description editing and volume searching functions have been
greatly enhanced. DiskSalv can freely convert between its internal
device format, standard Amiga ASCII format (DOSDrivers files), and
Rigid Disk Blocks (the standard autoboot format).
* Going by the Book
A complete, on-line AmigaGuide manual is included to aid both
beginner and advanced user. Details range from the basics through
a complete theory of operation. Decriptions of all DiskSalv file
formats and associated C Language "include" files are also supplied.
Environmental awareness is a DiskSalv tradition. Back in the
DiskSalv 1 days, Dave encouraged folks to "register" the shareware
by sending money to Greenpeace.
After careful consideration of the environmental impact of printed
manuals for frequently updated computer software, we have decided to
provide only AmigaGuide documentation. We believe that you will
appreciate having completely up-to-date documentation with
hypertext links and will appreciate our contribution to the health
of our Earth. Additionally, the entire DiskSalv package is reusable,
so there won't be anything you have to throw away or recycle without
getting at least one more use from it.
**SPECIAL NOTE: This offer replaces the "semi-commercial manual"
for DiskSalv 2 offer made in the DiskSalv V11.27
release. Everyone who ordered the DiskSalv 2 manual
will get DiskSalv 3 instead.
If you purchased DiskSalv 2 with the expectation of
printed documentation and are unhappy with receiving
DiskSalv 3 instead, we will cheerfully issue a full
refund on receipt of your returned software and a note
explaining your disatisfaction.
