For some strange reason I got a 'Error validating disk' requester today when
I booted (I know what it means and so on, but I wasn't to blame this time ;).
Anyway, I was already planning to spend my evening backuping, formating and
restoring my 40 meg Quantum when I stumbled across this neat little utility
called FixDisk by Werner Guenther (author of Xoper). Included was a validate
option, and that solved the problem.
I had to use the DOOM option because Mr. Guenther hasn't got a harddrive
to test his program. Still, the current limit is 48 Meg partitions/filesys-
tems, so maybe we should collect some funds for Mr. Guenther's harddisk ;)
Thanks to all you guys who make these great programs, there are so many of
you ...

PS. I wasn't the guy who told you about this program if it ruins your data ;)
Look for it in ff223 ..
