The second disk drive can be RAM: or other DOS device with a file system;
the input disk must be based on a device driven DOS device using the 
standard or fast filesystem.  Thus, input devices like most hard disks,
recoverable RAM disks like ASDG's VD0: or Digitronics' DRx: work; handler
based things like RAM: don't.  For output, I could specify any DOS level
device like DF1: or RAM:, or in fact a path spec like "RAM:Recovered".

I sent V1.32 to binaries just recently; this works better with FFS and fixes 
a few bugs.  If anyone EVER finds any bugs with this program, please tell
me about them, I do plan to eventually release a new version (but hopefully
not for a while).
