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

Ddrescuelog is a tool that manipulates ddrescue mapfiles, shows mapfile 
contents, converts mapfiles to/from other formats, compares mapfiles, 
tests rescue status, and can delete a mapfile if the rescue is done.

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


Changes in this version:

  * The new chapter "Meaning of ddrescue's screen output" has been 
added to the manual.

  * A 'combined rescue' test has been added to the testsuite.

This is the last release candidate before 1.23 stable.


Regards,
Antonio Diaz, GNU ddrescue author and maintainer.
