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.

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

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 new option "-K, --skip-size" has been added.

  * Configure option "--datadir" has been renamed to "--datarootdir" to 
follow GNU Standards.
