Hello,
I am going to get some utilities for disk management and recovery of data
for my IBM. I care not about cost. What would you recomend.
Some Specific Things I'd like to easily do:
Format only certain tracks of hard drives.
Read directly from the disk not per file.
recover lost and deleted stuff.
Any suggestions.

I care not about cost. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ WOW! Maybe you'd like to hire me to *write* these utilities :-) :-) > Format only certain tracks of hard drives. This is possible under the Diagnostics disk set (3 disks, currently). I believe the next-to-the-last menu selection is the one you want... Sorry I can't be more specific, but I don't have an RT in front of me. > Read directly from the disk not per file. Any "binary file editor" should do the job. I've seen a couple posted, but if you can't find one send me e-mail -- a friend of mine wrote quite a nice one (all the standard features) which he is willing to distribute. (It compiles fine on any System V.2 or later version) > recover lost and deleted stuff. I've seen ads for products that *claim* they can do this -- personally, I don't believe'm. If anyone out there in net.land knows of a utility which can do this, I'd like to here about it. > Any suggestions. You got'em. > ______________________________________________________________________ > Mike (I thought YOU took care of the guard!)
