[comp.sys.mac.misc] Fixing Mac Floppies

     I just got a call from someone who has a floppy that went bad.  It 
contains critical data, adn of course they had not backed it up.  What are the
best tools out there for that sort of thing?  If it helps at all, the files
are mostly in MSWord.  The message from the system is something like "disk 
damaged" followed by the initialize dialogue.  Thanks in advance!!

P.S.  Please email responses if you can - my news host will be down all 
      weekend.
P.P.S.  Any tips from experto on how to recover the data would be greatly 
        appreciated; I havn't had a mac disk crash in 4 years!
