While it would have been trivial to add all the fixing and checking code to ReOrg, I've got something against kitchen-sink programs. ReOrg is supposed to be a TOOL to be used together with other programs: "Power tools are not toys!" BTW, while your program sounds quite nice, it would fail miserably on two of the four partitions on my HD (guess why...). -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- UUCP: ...mcvax!cernvax!forty2!poole Simon Poole BITNET: K538915@CZHRZU1A ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
