[NLRS] WA2VOI Mail problems

[Dr. Gerald N. Johnson]

If you have drive problems making errors which could be drive or 
interface I have three versions of a super patient file copying program 
in the directory: www.geraldj.networkiowa.com/papers/Recovery/ compiled 
for DOS, Linux, and 32 bit windoze. It reads one byte at a time checking 
the error flag. If there is an error it waits a bit and tries again up 
to 65,000 tries. That makes is potentially very slow but it has 
recovered files from failing drives because of that patience. Its 
command line driven. Slowcopy inpath/input.fil outpath/output.fil but 
with the backslash in Linux.

I had a dos drive that dos could not read. With slowcopy running from a 
floppy disk, I recovered the entire 8 MB drive contents, but it took 
nearly three days.
