.SH "DESCRIPTION"
\fBDares\fR scans a CD/DVD image or a CD/DVD and tries to find files. It does not depend on filesystem information, but instead uses the \fBMagic library\fR to identify files. Doing it this way \fBDares\fR can recover files even when the filesystem (ISO\-9660 or UDF) on the disc is damaged and cannot be mounted anymore.
.PP 
Dares can use H2cdimage (ftp://ftp.heise.de/pub/ct/ctsi/h2cdimage.zip) files to
rescue data from heavily damaged optical discs.
