GNU ddrescue is a data recovery tool. It copies data from one file or 
block device (hard disc, cdrom, etc) to another, trying hard to rescue 
data in case of read errors.

The homepage is at http://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/ddrescue.html.

This version is also available in lzip format. If your distro doesn't
yet distribute the lzip program, you can download it from
http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/lzip.html


Changes in this version:

  * The syntax of option "--max-errors" has been extended to specify 
new errors (--max-errors=+N).

  * The short name of option "--retrim" has been changed to "-M".

  * A spurious warning about "preallocation not available" has been fixed.

  * The code implementing logfile generation has been moved to the new 
class "Genbook" in preparation for the addition of the reverse mode.

Antonio Diaz, GNU ddrescue author and maintainer.
