+.TH RECOVERDM 1 "Version 0.19 " "recoverdm"
+
+.SH NAME
+recoverdm \- recover files\/disks with damaged sectors
+
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.I recoverdm
+\-t type \-i file\/devicein \-o fileout [\-l list] [\-n retries] [\-s speed]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+.I recoverdm
+This program will help you recover disks with bad sectors. You can recover files as well complete devices.
+In case if finds sectors which simply cannot be recoverd, it writes an empty sector to the outputfile and continues.
+If you're recovering a CD or a DVD and the program cannot read the sector in "normal mode",
+then the program will try to read the sector in "RAW mode" (without error-checking etc.).
+This toolkit also has a utility called 'mergebad': mergebad merges multiple images into one.
+This can be usefull when you have, for example, multiple CD's with the same data which are all damaged.
+In such case, you can then first use recoverdm to retrieve the data from the damaged CD's into image-files and then combine them into one image with mergebad.
