Hi guys,
I'm going to stick my neck out a bit, and assume
you all saw the
screenshots I posted this week. If you didn't, well... you missed a treat :)
I've just committed the current "development
alpha" of the DiscFerret
software to the DiscFerret Mercurial repository. You can access the
files at the following address:

Hi, Phil,
The universe of interesting names for things in English is of course
limited, so this is not a criticism of the name "Merlin" for your latest
version.
I do feel the need, on the other hand, to point out that "Merlin" is the
name of a TOPS-20 disk copy utility (perhaps pan PDP-10, but I've not seen
it on other OSes) with the ability to do a sector-level copy of a blown
filesystem in order to recover as much data as possible before re-formatting.
At least we're in the same general universe of discourse! ;-)
