In the near future, I will be responsible for repairing mac disks
for a large number of macintosh users(the dartmouth college community).
I have done such work before,but I have been away from the trade for
about 3 months. What I amlooking for is pointers to users favorite
software to perform such tasks. I am familiar Fedit, Mactools,
First Aid, and we have a small utility (I believe shareware)
named FileFixer. Are there any others of importance?
I am also looking people who are interested in disk repair and are
willing to share experiences they have had. I have learned most
of what I know by myself and would be interested to compare/contrast
methods with people who have had repair experience. Is there anyone
out there who has been doing this stuff on a regular basis?
Finally, I am searching for documentation on file formats for various
word processing packages. Formats for MacWrite, Word, and WriteNow
would seem most important as the user group I am supporting relies
heavily upon these packages.(and trashes them regularly)
In General any information/conversation upon the subject is more
than welcome. I would also be glad to share what I already know
with other users in the net.
Thanks much,
Dave Green
