What it fixes

Broken cross reference tables, damaged objects, and files that were cut off in a download or email are the most common problems. Okaysize reads what it can and writes a clean new file.

What it can't

If parts of a file are missing completely, nothing can bring them back. Repair recovers everything that's still in the file.
