Before someone mentions this to me, in this ZIP is also located the much more serious SCANDISK_PAS.ZIP, written in a program language defore comments were invented. The only comment I could find was (* if there are any errors above it is because I restarted programming while I'm still sick!!! *) and there is SCANDISK05.ZIP. It's author Imre Leber is also author of CHKDSK which suggests that SCANDISK might be some graphical version of CHKDSK. At least CHKDSK mentions a few common FAT errors that it will find and fix. Unfortunately there is no description of what this program is supposed to do other then HISTORY which suggest that the author is jcosentino Congratulations again for this excellent software.
