I won't be able to see any replies, but....

I successfully used DiskSalv to get all files off a floppy with a circular
directory entry, which is nice because the other versions of DS seemed to
mess up quite badly with this. However, it took me 6 passes to do it.
DiskSalv was taking all of the 350K of memory I still had left. I used the
option for using less memory and I restored from one disk to another. Is
it supposed to be this memory hungry? For those of us (probably rare people)
that still have 512K Amigas *shudder*, DS, though a saviour, is a chore to use.
Am I doing something wrong or is there an assumption that 1M mem is standard
now?
