[comp.sys.mac.system] What does Disk First Aid do?

Disk First Aid doesn't have any real online help, and the
documentation in the Macintosh Utilities User's Guide is
less than helpful.  Any help will be appreciated.

First of all, the Disk First Aid that comes with 7.0 is much improved
over previous versions. Even if you aren't using 7.0, use DFA 7.0.
 
DFA allows you to check if the data structures on an HFS volume are
ok. It also has limited repair capabilities.
