This is DRIVEAID.BIN, uuencoded. It is a program for the Commodore-64 and the 1541/1571 drive. A one-block file is written to disk; you select which of two things that you want the file to do. One option is to disable bumps, useful for running copy-protected programs. The other option is to instruct DOS to make every effort to read sectors. That can be useful when hard-to-read sectors start appearing in important files. The idea is to use either a disk-copy or a file-copy utility to copy the file, and then get rid of it. Once you have the one-block file, do a: LOAD"FILENAME",D,1 (where D is the drive device number) to do the "memory-write" to DOS address 106. Don't try to run the file, just loading it does the job. And any BASIC program in memory is preserved. Docs included with this program.
