I'd just like to point out that DISKDOCTOR isn't perfect, and sometimes fails.
Moreover, it writes back over your original disk, so if it fails, it may make
furthur recovery efforts difficult.  DISKSALV, originally posted by Dave
Haynie (sp?) of Commodore, attempts to copy your files to a new disk.
A much better approach.  This utility was recently re-posted (without source)
to the net.  It's also on Fish disk 20.
