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!

Pete
