This demo comes with sample tables illustrating different DBF/FPT problems.
The demo copy is limited to the three demo initial .dbf file sizes.

You may want to compare RECOVER with other file fixers. Just have 2 copies 
of the sample files (SAMPLE*.*) ready - one for testing RECOVER.APP and one 
for testing other file fixers. Then see how many of the samples will other 
file fixers repair. 

In this demo we illustrate some of the serious file corruption
problems that Recover can handle and omitted trivial header adjustment
examples done by so called "ADVANCED" repair utilities.

Sample damaged files:
=====================
SAMPLE2 AND SAMPLE3 can be viewed beforehand to see the damage as noted
below.

SAMPLE1.DBF/.FPT: Corrupted record AND memo file headers.

SAMPLE2.DBF/FPT: Mixed up memos - You can view the memos before repair to 
  see the mixed up memo data.

SAMPLE3.DBF/FPT: Mixed up records - You can view this file before repair to 
  see the corrupted records. This file includes the trace code in records. 
  The Trace method quickly recovers all available pieces of the record and 
  the memo file without any user intervention. The trace method is an ideal 
  safeguard for your clients sensitive or high security data. No other file 
  fix software can match this recovery method for reliability, speed and 
  absence of user interaction.
