            DiskDoctor (V 1.3 and 2.04. Omitted after 2.04) (in 
        C: directory)


    NAME
            DiskDoctor - Reconstructs the file structure of 
        corrupted disks.

	SYNOPSIS
		DiskDoctor (drivename)

	DESCRIPTION
            This can be described in two words: it sucks. It is 
        useless.  It has no purpose on any computer. That is why 
        it was removed after 2.04. 

            The concept was to repair directory and file 
        structures that were destroyed for any number of reasons. 
        These reasons can be anything from removing the disk 
        while it is still being accessed to a nuclear explosion. 
        When any type of magnetism comes in contact with your 
        floppy the data is scrambled and AmigaDOS can't read 
        anything there. You will get a variety of errors such as 
        'Volume is not validated', 'Not a DOS disk', 'Disk is 
        unreadable', or the ever so present 'Checksum Error' if 
        such damage occured. 

            Diskdoctor attempts to correct the damaged data on 
        the disk and save as much of it as it can.  DiskDoctor 
        can only attempt to repair FFS disks if the DEVS: 
        Mountlist is set to 0x444F5301 under the DOSTYPE keyword. 

            DiskDoctor is quite reckless when it repairs your 
        disk. You see, after it retrieves what data it can 
        salvage overwriting other information that may still be 
        used on the disk. It does this over- writing 
        indescriminatly without recognition of importance or 
        existence. 

            Therefor, if you ever use DiskDoctor, make sure you 
        are trying to repair a copy of your disk.  There is no 
        reason to use this when there are so many fabulous 
        disksalvage programs. The most notible is DiskSalv 
        created by David Haynie (former Commodore engineer and 
        all around Amiga Demi-God).  His program along with the 
        many other USEFUL salvage programs that actually work are 
        listed in the 'Replacements' selection of this reference 
        program. Quarterback Tools (no longer being developed) 
        and AmiBack Tools by Intelligent Designs are both running 
        close second to DiskSalv. 


    EXAMPLES

            I'M NOT GIVING ANY. THIS PROGRAM IS TOO STUPID AND 
        USELESS TO EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE IT WITH AN EXAMPLE.
