       This manual page was written by Michael Hanke <michael.hanke@gmail.com>, for the Debian project (but  may
       be used by others).

Michael Hanke                                     Oktober 2005                                          DARES(1)

Dares  scans  a  CD/DVD  image  or  a  CD/DVD  and  tries to find files. It does not depend on filesystem
       information, but instead uses the Magiclibrary to identify files. Doing it this way  Dares  can  recover
       files even when the filesystem (ISO-9660 or UDF) on the disc is damaged and cannot be mounted anymore.

       Dares  can use H2cdimage (ftp://ftp.heise.de/pub/ct/ctsi/h2cdimage.zip) files to rescue data from heavily
       damaged optical discs.
