Has anyone out there fixed dd so that when doing raw disk transfers of
whole file systems error condidtions are handled correctly? The noerror
option continues the transfer but the destination "file ptr" is not
updated correctly. As the up Unibus Disk driver does not completely
handle bad blocks this utility is certainly an important one.

Thanks in advance
