- Note: BD v04 works equally well on either CP/M v2.2 or v3.0.
-
- Numerous programs exist to check disks for bad records. Several of them
- are commercial programs such as BADLIM, DSKMGR and RECLAIM. A few are
- free such as BD, FINDBAD (often called FBAD) and Verify.
-
- All these programs construct a file which includes the bad records. BD
- is the only free program that also shows the name of any file that has
- one or more of the bad records.
-
- BD v04 is current. I tried on earlier releases to make it work on CP/M+
- as well as CP/M v2.2 but with unsatisfactory results. A friend from
- Australia (Jonathan Saxton) became interested in the program. He is the
- sharpest person I know with regard to CP/M+. He was able to finish up
- the program for satisfactory use with CP/M+. BD04 now works automatic-
- ally with CP/M v2.2 or v3.0 either one. Read the BD.HLP file to see what
- features the programs offers and how to interpret the information it
- supplies.
-
- This program is a "must have" utility that any CP/M user should keep on
- his master disk. It is not only more versatile than FINDBAD (or FBAD),
- but somewhat faster, as well.
-
- HINT: Rename to BD.COM when placing on your master disk.
