2004-07-06Initial import of gzrecover-0.2 from pkgsrc-wip, packaged by pancake.xtraeme1-0/+7
So you thought you had your files backed up onto that jaz cartridge - until it came time to restore. Then you found out that you had bad sectors and you've lost almost everything because gzip craps out 10% of the way through your archive. The gzip Recovery Toolkit has a program - gzrecover - that attempts to skip over bad data in a gzip archive and to GNU tar that enables that program to skip over bad data and extract whatever files might be there.
