Great! I worked out how to build a new version for myself (but not the test 1.21
versions... how do I make a .sig file?)
The new features make a HUGE difference. I can still see some room for improvement,
but not much.
It now correctly detects drives that require power cycle after hitting a bad spot (can set it
to go back and re-read a good spot after hitting an error. If it can't read the good spot it
will quit.)
And, within limits, you can now control how far it jumps when it finds a bad spot.
Thanks, Christian!
Pete
