+aimage (the advanced imager) is an imaging tool which is part of AFF, the
+Advanced Forensic Format.
+
+aimage can create files in raw, AFF, AFD, or AFM formats. AFF and AFD
+formats can be compressed or uncompressed. aimage can optionally compress
+and calculate MD5 or SHA-1 hash residues while the data is being copied.
+It has intelligent error recovery, similar to what is in ddrescue.
+
+aimage requires afflib, which is also available at at SlackBuilds.org.
