Ok folks, I think this qualifies as a 'RN' use of c.s.a.games (RN=real neat(tm))
I have a BIG problem that I hope someone out there can help me with.
I have an ORIGINAL copy of Carrier Command that is DEAD DEAD DEAD, and I find
NO way of restoring it (DiskSalv 1.42 CHOKES hard (no pun, but there is a hard
error on EVERY sector/side/track of the disk) an X-copy'ed copy, that I (try)
and DiskDoctor does the same 'gurk, hard error side 0, gurk, hard error side 1)
and so that FAILS to fix it. What I propose is for some KIND soul to PLEASE
send me a copy of their original. As proof *I* own an original I can give you
interesting FACTS that if you have the original (Version 2 boxed set) like
I do you will know (like keywords off of ANY page in the manual, what NEAT
things come with the game, etc. etc.) So, would somebody out there OFFER
to send me a disk US(nail) mail, and I will FIX my original disk, MAKE a
backup of it, and PROMISE never to fall into this trap again (I was going
to buy Carrier Command, but this copy would NOT load, the dealer (a friend)
gave me the WHOLE thing, very nice of him, but alas I can NOT recover a
darn thing, and am very frustrated with the state of recovery products for
the Amiga..) (Plus I will return your DISK intact the same way I got it,
and pay your postage if you wish....)
Thanks loads, and I look forward to ANY replies that I get (big cross of
fingers)

P.S. This was his LAST copy and the game has been DISCONTINUED (I already
thought of the OBVIOUS ways of getting another disk)
