There are several utilities that are far more useful than MacTools for
disk repair.  Here is a partial list:

	Disk First Aid, from Apple
		Very effective at repairing certain kinds of
		disk problems automatically.  Free from any
		public domain source.

	MacZap, from some company (sorry I don't know the name)
		This utility has been getting raves on the net
		recently.  It apparently works on both hard
		disks and regular floppies.  Fairly easy to use.

	Fedit Plus, again from a company whose name I don't know
		This is very powerful if you're willing to take time
		to learn about the details of Macintosh disk
		formats.  It's not as automated as MacZap or Disk
		First Aid, but some people think it's the best
		repair utility available.

These are some of the most popular ones around.  All of them should
be available from any Mac mail-order company, and all of them are
probably worth the less than $100 you'd pay for them.  (Except Disk
First Aid, which is free.)

Good luck!
