When is DiskSalv not the answer?  It seems to me always.  I have never
been able to get the blasted thing to work.  I have sent in comments to
C.S.A and noone seems to deem it necessary to enlighten me on what I am
doing wrong.  In fact I had another person say that they were having the
exact same problems.  They were using a 2000 I believe (it has been a
couple months now).  If you would help me out I would gladly recant my
above statement.

Here is the setup   A1000 w/ 512k one external 3.5 drive, a modem, and
a printer. (Modem and printer shouldn't make any difference but anyways.)

My attempt (and please forgive me for I don't have the docs here in front
of me and it has been about 2 to 3 months since I have tried to do any-
thing with it) was to do
        DISKSALV DF1:
It loads DISKSLAV and then ask to insert the diskette into DF1:.  I do
and press return.  It starts crunching away.  I don't remember what it
says something about reading diskete and then it ran out of storage.
So I looked back through the docs for how do only a segment thinking
that I could split it up into about 4 or 5 segments.

I started with like track 0 to 19 I think. still the same problem.  I
wound down to doing only bocks of 3 tracks I think and still the same
problem - "Out of memory"  That is when I decided that DiskSalv was a
piece of trash.  If you can change my mind I would appreciate it.

I will probably go home and try it again and write you the real
results later on tonight.  But please help me get this thing to working.
