First the good news, I've written a utiltiy which has following functions:
-disk check (hard disks + floppys) with limited automatic repair
(a la MS-DOS chkdisk)
-unerase
-sector and file orientated disk editor with search facility
-disk fragmentation display
-GEM based user interface
(and a few things more...)
The bad news:
-its just slowly moving out of beta-test status (but it seems to be
quite near release now)
-documentation is not finished yet
-I haven't decided on what to do with it:
-Freeware (I've already got one product with this
and considering the amount of support it gets
(find a commercial product that is as well
supported and I'll buy you a beer :-)) I don't
get that much back from it (execpt the fame :-)),
notice that I don't have a CS in my signature,
with other words: I don't get paid for hacking
around on computers.....
-Shareware, would be probably the fairest method but
automatically stops distribution and support via
e-mail.
-Commercial: probably not worth the trouble.....
If anybody wants to have a look at the beta-test version (with the
usual disclaimers), I could probably handle a few more beta-testers.....
