	Yet another problem has arisen to be presented to the CBM-Sages
of Netland...(praise, praise...)
	(First an aside: Thanx to all those who sent me info regarding
the Koala screen problem.  It works, it works! ;) )
	While using the C= Assembler System, you know the one, I used the
slash symbol to attempt to load a program from my 1581.  (This system allows
you to load using "/filename".)  Anyway, the drive errored out.  Reading the
error channel gave me error#23, a supposed checksum problem.  Dummy-me
didn't have a backup of the disk I was accessing, and the same error pops
up for half of the programs on the disk.  (I need these programs!!!)
	After searching through various books, I could find nothing to
get me on the right track.  The only track/sector reading program I have is
unfortunately one of the erroring programs.  (The only one for the 1581, 
that is).  My problem is how can I reclaim those programs.  Mucking about
with disk headers and sectors is a relatively new frontier for me, and I
fear mangling the program files any further.  Any advice and/or book
references for help would be GREATLY appreciated!!

Thanx in advance,

K W Smith, Jr.
