1. Bug fixed: poor recovery quality in Simple Mode on FAT volumes with FATs damaged beyond recognition.
2. Improvement: Added ability to merge fragments occupying consecutive clusters on FAT volume into a single directory, thus reducing overall number of fragments.

ZARNTFS:

1. Bug fixed: Unable to find proper SS value when only part of disk image is available (thus forcing negative SS).
2. Bug fixed: Multiple NTFS-compressed files issues.

"Configuration file" functionality is added into both ZARFAT and ZARNTFS. It allows recovery run to be controlled by a predefined "task file" with little or no user action required. This option is implemented for support purposes only, and is not documented.
