In my opinion, Commodore ought to just drop DiskDoctor entirely and start
shipping AmigaDOS with DiskSalv in its place.  DiskDoctor doesn't even
come close to DiskSalv in terms of success at recovering files and the
directory structure.  My experience has been that running DiskDoctor on
a munged disk is about as effective as running Format on it.  :-(
