============================== F E A T U R E S ==============================

gzrecover is a program that will attempt to extract any readable data
out of a gzip file that has been corrupted. 

============================ R E Q U I R E M E N T ==========================

gzrecover tested and worked fine on the following configurations:

- IcarOS i386               (Kickstart 51.51, Workbench 40.0, AROS ABIv0)
- AROS One i386             (Kickstart 51.51, Workbench 40.0, AROS ABIv0)

================================= U S A G E =================================

USAGE:

gzrecover [ -hsv ] [-o <filename>] <filename> 

By default, gzrecover writes its output to <filename>.recovered.  If the
original filename ended in .gz, that extension is removed.  Options include:

-o <name> - Sets the output file name
-s        - Splits each recovered segment into its own file,
            with numeric suffixes (.1, .2, etc) (UNTESTED)
-h        - Print the help message
-v        - Verbose logging on

Running gzrecover on an uncorrupted gzip file should simply uncompress it.
However, substituting gzrecover for gzip on a regular basis is not
recommended.

Any recovered data should be manually verified for validity.
