Fishhead is a GS/OS desktop file copier application. It offers several features which make it a powerful software for diskette and file preservation purposes:
- Attributes preservation
All copied files keep their original date, time and other attributes (e.g. invisible or locked) information - Batch mode
Removable devices can be ejected and Fishhead will wait for the next medium to be inserted before copying it, and so on - Error handling
Fishhead does not stop on read errors, it copies as much data as possible - History log
The program displays and saves a log file including the result for each copied file from the source disk
Fishhead recursively copies files from a selected volume by chuncks of 256 bytes. The main idea is to recover as much data as possible from a bad medium. Fishhead has been tested (for months) on an Apple IIgs ROM 01 and ROM 3, with Appleshare (localtalk, netatalk) under System 6.0.1.
