[stuff deleted 'bout sounds; the reason the sounds are played at a faster rate
 on the ST is because the monitor's refresh rate is faster.. not sure if there
 really is a way to get sounds to come out correctly]

Well... there is a commercial product called DiskFit that I hear is really
good.  I don't have it, nor have I ever used it (there was supposed to be a
shareware version of it, but its origins were flaky so I deleted it Just In
Case).  I've been scanning (sorta) the Mac anonymous ftp sites, and have found
a few pd/shareware backup programs, but none seem to fit the bill (they either
take 2 hours for 20 megabytes (YUCK!) or don't quite know how to get the total
files on disk.. maybe they don't like HFS, I dunno).
