DeVaughn) Posting-number: Volume 89, Issue 68 Archive-name: dos/fs/disksalv140.uu1 DiskSalv V1.40 fixes two main bugs in V1.32: a bug in the processing of logical vs. physical volumes which caused the file size checking to get switched off at the wrong times, and incorrect handling of circular directories, which would usually result in a crash during the scanning process. DiskSalv V1.40 is better about fragmenting RAM and uses much less stack memory. The FORMAT option has been removed, and the START and STOP options are more flexible. Finally, DiskSalv has some new options: the NODOS option solves a problem that sometimes comes up when you have a disk that can hang or crash to OS; the FILE option allows you to specify a filename pattern to match against during the scanning phase; and the LOMEM option drops DiskSalv memory usage to a minimum, at the expense of some speed and features.
