I used this program until I formatted my hard drive to have partitions
bigger than 16 megabytes (allowable under TOS 1.4).  I had no problems with
FSCK *until* it tried checking partitions over 16 megs, then it gave false 
readings (ie. bad sectors where there were none).  Others in the local
atari club (San Diego) have reported the same thing.  Be careful...
