(Sorry if this is a repeat but I am not sure my mailer posted it)
Hello,
I am going to get some utilities for disk management and recovery of data
for my IBM. I care not about cost. What would you recomend.
Some Specific Things I'd like to easily do:
Format only certain tracks of hard drives.
Read directly from the disk not per file.
recover lost and deleted stuff.
Any suggestions.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
WOW! Maybe you'd like to hire me to *write* these utilities :-) :-)
> Format only certain tracks of hard drives.
This is possible under the Diagnostics disk set (3 disks, currently).
I believe the next-to-the-last menu selection is the one you want...
Sorry I can't be more specific, but I don't have an RT in front of me.

Any "binary file editor" should do the job. I've seen a couple posted,
but if you can't find one send me e-mail -- a friend of mine wrote quite
a nice one (all the standard features) which he is willing to distribute.
(It compiles fine on any System V.2 or later version)
> recover lost and deleted stuff.
I've seen ads for products that *claim* they can do this -- personally,
I don't believe'm. If anyone out there in net.land knows of a utility
which can do this, I'd like to here about it.
> Any suggestions.
You got'em.
