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!
