- ;
- ; This program reads a diskette one track at a time, and presents
- ; one sector at a time on the display in character and hexadecimal
- ; representation. The diskette can be browsed forward or backward
- ; one sector or one track at a time using function keys. On request,
- ; any sector displayed can be stored in memory. At the end of the
- ; run, a diskette file can be created from the stored data.
- ;
- ; Command format:
- ;
- ; RECOVER [drive:] [/2] [/9]
- ;
- ; drive: is the drive where the diskette to be processed will
- ; be found. If omitted, the default drive is used.
- ; /2 should be entered for double-sided diskettes.
- ; /9 should be entered for 9-sector/track diskettes.
- ;
- ; All available unused main storage is allocated for the storage
- ; of data. If the storage is filled, a status message is displayed
- ; and processing continues, but no more data can be stored.
- ;
- ; The program is designed to be tolerant of diskette errors; if
- ; a read error occurs on a track, a status message is displayed
- ; and the option is given to continue with the next or last track.
