GNU ddrescue is a data recovery tool. It copies data from one file or 
block device (hard disc, cdrom, etc) to another, trying to rescue the 
good parts first in case of read errors.

Ddrescuelog is a tool that manipulates ddrescue mapfiles, shows mapfile 
contents, converts mapfiles to/from other formats, compares mapfiles, 
tests rescue status, and can delete a mapfile if the rescue is done.

The homepage is at http://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/ddrescue.html


Changes in this version:

  * Empty default constructors have been added to classes Block and 
Sblock. (Reported by Rosen Penev).

  * Ddrescue now extends the output file using 'ftruncate' if it works, 
because it is slightly more efficient.
