Bruce Blanar asked for help recovering a file when the data is on the disk
but there's no directory entry. I recently needed to recover a file from
a disk with an invalid track 0. Norton Utilities on a PS/2 worked fine.
It's versatile, well documented and fairly easy to use.
For this particular problem, it may be possible to read in a whole lot of
raw sectors using memfile (a freely-redistributable desk accessory binary
editor provided by the NeoDesk folks), write out the contents as a file,
and possibly spruce it up a bit with a debugger (the Atari debugger seems
to have the features needed). Maybe. Norton will work for sure.
