I believe it to be 100% false. The story I remember (probably read in some Sydex documentation) is that Teledisk was written to help support the CP/M disk reading software (was that called 22disk?). The idea was that if you had a CP/M disk in a format that wasn't supported by 22disk, you could use Teledisk to mail an image of the disk to Sydex so they could attempt to add the format to later versions. In any case, teledisk is not that useful for extracting information from a non-PC disk (which is presumably what the police, etc, would want to do). I can really see the point of being able to make a copy of a disk for some machine they don't have. Some program like anadisk, which lets you read sector-by-sector, make disk images, and so on, would be a lot more useful to them I would have thought. -tony
