*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR DISK RECOVERER ***
Last night my twerpy little beige beastie munched a disk, and now when
I insert it I get "This disk is unreadable..." I heard that "Initialize
Disk" rewrites the entire disk, which I don't want because there's a
file that I would like to extract. Is there any way to get the disk
inserted so I can go in with FEdit and get what I need?

The Copy II Mac program, the main item on their disk, is a backup utility to allow duplication of protected disks. Both are good, both work as advertised. It lists at $39.95, but discount usually provides it for about $25. -Brian Diehm Tektronix, Inc. (Who may or may not endorse said product. . .)
