Atari is doing very well in Europe. Almost 4 STs are sold for each Amiga. Atari releases their sales figures every quarter; they are required to re- lease them by the SEC, since they have an obligation to the people who own shares in the company. By the way, almost one-third of Amigas made in Eu- rope are returned as defective. On another totally unrelated note: Is it possible to write a program that will backup the FAT and the directory of a hard disk partition? Programs that wipe out hard disks generally do so by destroying the FAT and the directory. A program that will backup the vital information on a disk is effective pro- tection against viruses and other malicious code. Is this project feasible? Such a program will probably make backing up a hard disk much more painless! Lawrence Y. Chiu; University of California, Berkeley.
