the possibility of fixing the problem and continue.

  * After every read error, ddrescue now verifies the input file has 
not disappeared.

  * Descriptions of "--direct", "--synchronous" and "--sparse" in the 
manual have been made clearer.

  * "make check" now verifies that files are open in binary mode.
