                   Copyright (C) Alexey V. Gubin, 1999-2002

                           *** ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ***

     Thanks  to Alexey Ermoshkin for numerous ideas and for his great patience
during beta tests.


                           *** PACKAGE CONTENTS ***
     The package consists of the following tools:

     1.  ZARFAT  -  FAT16/FAT32 recovery tool, which allows extraction of data
from a damaged hard disk to another medium.

     2.  ZARNTFS  - NTFS recovery tool, which allows extraction of data from a
damaged hard disk to another medium.

     2. ZARPARTN - An auxiliary tool which scans a disk looking for partitions
and  writes  all found items to a report file. Some useful parameters are also
computed from these data.

     3. ZARBBT - Boot sector-based disk eraser and copier tool. These are the
extremely dangerous tools, to be used only in the extreme circumstances. These
tools allow
     3.a. Writing zeros to the drive
     3.b.  Copying  the  drive  to the identical one to perform repairs over a
duplicate.
     3.c.  Wiping  the Master Boot Record when DOS does not allow you to boot,
even from the floppy disk.


                   *** UNREGISTERED VERSION LIMITATIONS ***

     ZARFAT and ZARNTFS:
     * Only (up to) four directories can be recovered in a demo version.
     * Demo version is unable to load scan result file. However it does save
the files, to avoid rescanning the disk once you got a full version.

     ZARPARTN:
     No limitations (can be used freely, except for commercial purposes).

     ZARBBT:
     No limitations (can be used freely, except for commercial purposes).
