;READS ALL SECTORS IN LOGICAL MSDOS BLOCKS
;AND MARKS THE FILE ALLOCATION TABLES SUCH
;THAT THE BLOCKS ARE PERMANENTLY ALLOCATED
;WHERE CHKDSK WILL NOT DEALLOCATE THEM.
;
;
;THIS VERSION WORKS ON ANY 2.XX MSDOS OR
;PCDOS, ON ANY MEDIA TYPE, FIXED OR REMOVABLE.
;ONE (MAJOR) LIMITATION: IT WILL NOT MAP OUT
;BLOCKS THAT ARE ALREADY ALLOCATED TO A FILE;
;IT WILL SAY "BLOCK USED", BUT WON'T TELL YOU
;WHICH FILE IT IS IN.
;
;IF SCAVENGE FINDS ANY BAD BLOCKS, IT WILL ASK
;YOU WHETHER OR NOT YOU WANT THE DISK UPDATED.
;YOU CAN SAFELY RUN IT JUST TO SEE IF THE DISK
;IS OK.
