1'st, Imre's list of implemented features looks rather complete. really looking forward to it. though a log, what has been done (changed), as suggest by eric, would be nice. in addition, for some actions (like giving 2 copies for crosslinked files), I would prefer an (optional) interactive mode, where the files can be deleted as well, because a deleted EXE file is probably better then a damaged one. alain wrote> >What language are you using?

I strongly disagree. it's not easier - reread eric's dissertation about direct disk access for DOS32 it's not faster - chkdsk's speed is entirely determined by disk access speed. xms version is better - as long as we don't have a DMPI compliant EMM386, or want to run it on XT's (probably no need for FAT32), or 286's tom
