     Actually this matter came up
before on BIX and the current fix
is to go in and manually adjust the
FAT.  Kim Kempf posted a quicky
program to help with this.  Frankly
I'm speaking from memory and I can't
remember what the tool did.  I
*think* it simply edited the FAT
entries as you specified.  I can't
even remember if you had to do any
manual calculations in terms of
track and sector or whether it did
that much for you.

     Being Kim's work, I can't post
it to the Net without his permission.
Actually, he's often on the Net, so
I assumed that he might do it himself.
Unfortunately, I believe he's on a
holiday for the next week.  I'll try
to remember to ask him about it when
he gets back.  No promises though.
Best to ask him yourself.

Cheers! -- Jim O.
