Command-line tool to check ADFs (Amiga Disk Files) for errors and viruses. A binary is included for Windows users; Linux users are advised to compile the application themselves. Might also compile under plain DOS; but BE WARNED! When you scan files already renamed by the TOSEC standard, consider that file names may become insanely long in no time. --UPDATE OCTOBER 2014-- This project is currently suspended! I can't currently find the time to fix/update anything with this program and hence it must be considered 'on hold' at the moment. Sorry for the inconvenience.
