- ReadFile is a utility for continually re-trying to read a file off a bad disk
- (hard or floppy). You know the situation where you could sit there for hours
- responding to Abort, Retry, Ignore questions... ReadFile does that for you, as
- well as periodically resetting the disk drive (recalibrating).
-
- I wrote it during an emergency and it has managed to save a fair few files so
- far.
-
- Keys used during operation are:
-
- I)gnore this failure
- P)ause (to change disks etc etc)
-
- and
-
- ESCAPE to quit
-
- The file will be copied into the current subdirectory on the current drive,
- with the original file name.
