It has several features they don't have. - It can read a file backwards from the end of the file. - Don't abort on error until a error number reaches a maximum error number specified by a user (or don't abort at all). - You can specify two block sizes, a small one used in the case of errors and a large one used in the normal case (It is similar to phk's recoverdisk). -- MANTANI Nobutaka nobutaka@nobutaka.org, nobutaka@FreeBSD.org
