Corruption Corrector


 ### Introduction ###

Corruption Corrector (CCorr) is a program designed for fixing corrupt 
files. It is for situations when you have (downloaded) many copies of 
the same file, but all of the copies are a bit corrupt. If the 
corruptions are in different parts of the file, it is possible to 
combine the good bytes from each file and get an uncorrupted copy of 
the file.

At first CCorr creates checksums from the files at regular intervals 
(e.g. 16 KB) after which the files can be compared to locate the 
corrupted parts. The user chooses which parts are corrupt and which 
are good, after which CCorr writes a combination of all the good parts 
into a new file, and thus fixes the corruptions if possible.

This program has been made by Esko Luontola using the Java programming 
language. Corruption Corrector is licenced under the GNU General 
Public License (GPL).
