CHKVCR.LIT is similar to Alpha Micro's CRT610.LIT. Both programs check the reliability of VCR tapes. However, CHKVCR.LIT will show the reliability of each block (or small number of blocks, depending on the number of copies specified). A summary statistic shows the minimum number of bad copies in a block. This program is important in that a VCR tape may have very high reliability but 1 block may have almost no good copies. At Softworks we have been using this program and haven't had a bad tape sent out since its use. .
