- I don't know the answer myself, but I know there IS an answer. Hopefully
- someone will come up with it.

- NO!!!!! Don't _ever_ use that. Erase it from your system. It causes far
- more damage than it cures. Commodore struck it off the medical register

- DiskSalv will cure most problems, but get the latest version you can find
- - there are PD and commercial versions. 11.32 is PD and is on aminet (in
- disk/salv/), and Vn3 is commercial. But read the docs carefully, as wrong
- usage - in particular the "fix in place" options - can render a disk
- unreadable if incorrectly or inadvisably used.
-
- Try the 'Salvage' mode in DiskSalv, to copy your files to somewhere else.
