Description:

!DiscEdit is a sophisticated disc sector editor with data recovery
tools for all Acorn ARM based computers, including the RiscPC.
It supports all FileCore based hard and floppy disc filing systems.

It contains special features for 'Broken directory' repair and can
search the disc for strings and filetypes.

Recent changes include:

* Spark, Zip, PipeDream and PDF filetypes added to identification database.
* ZapRedraw module now included for faster screen update.
* Directory repair facilities are now available even if the directory is so
  badly corrupted that !DiscEdit does not identify it as a directory.
* Option to check and correct the checksum on hard disc boot blocks.
* StrongARM compatible without AppPatcher.
