        !            13: .I Drtest
        !            14: is a standalone program used to read a disk 
        !            15: track by track. 
        !            16: It was primarily intended as a test program 
        !            17: for new standalone drivers, but has shown
        !            18: useful in other contexts as well, such as 
        !            19: verifying disks and running speed
        !            20: tests. For example, when a disk has been formatted
        !            21: (by format(8)), you can check that
        !            22: hard errors has been taken care of by running 
        !            23: .IR drtest .
        !            24: No hard errors should be found, but in many cases 
        !            25: quite a few soft ECC errors will be reported.
        !            26: .PP

        !            29: is running, the cylinder number is printed on
        !            30: the console for every 10th cylinder read.
