OWNER : Cluster Owner Program
Version 1.61, 21-Apr-1987
SMG Software
(C) Copyright 1986,1987 by
Steven Georgiades
All Rights Reserved
This program enables the user to easily determine what file a
specified cluster belongs to. The first cluster on any disk is
considered by DOS to be #2.
Some utilities will check all the clusters on your disk to see if
any are bad. But once you know which cluster is bad, you have no easy
way of determining what file that cluster belongs to. This program
solves that problem. You give it the cluster number in question, and
it will search all of the directories on the disk to determine which
file "owns" it. Once you have determined which file the cluster
belongs to, you can then copy it to another place on the disk, or
RECOVER it, or simply delete it. You may then use the MARK program to
mark that cluster as bad.
Command Format:
OWNER [d:] n [[d:] n [...]]
d: = Optional Drive Letter
n = Cluster Number to Check
Examples:
OWNER 10 (Will tell what file owns cluster 10 on the default
drive)
OWNER A: 100 (Will tell what file owns cluster 100 on Drive A:)
OWNER D: 5 12 (Will tell what file owns cluster 5 on Drive D:,
and what file owns cluster 12 on Drive D:)
OWNER 17 A: 7 (Will tell what file owns cluster 17 on the default
drive, and what file owns cluster 7 on Drive A:)
Revision History:
Versions 1.00-1.52 Pre-Release Versions
Version 1.60 Added ability to specify drive letter and
multiple clusters on command line.
Version 1.61 Fixed obscure bug that would cause "Appears to
be lost" messages erroneously. Should also
run faster in this version.

This software is distributed as ShareWare. "ShareWare" means that
you are granted free license to use and copy this software as much as
you like, within the following restrictions:
1). It is distributed in its original, unmodified form,
including program and documentation.
2). No fee is charged for use, copying or distribution (With
the exception of nominal "per disk" copying charges, not to
exceed $6.00 per disk).
3). The program may not be included with other goods or
services supplied for a fee, unless written permission to
do so is obtained in advance from the author.
You are not required to register your shareware, but if you are using
the program, and find it helpful, you are expected to register.
Registration fees are as follows:
Full Registration (w/full support) ........ $20.00
Basic Registration (w/basic support) ...... $10.00
Please make checks payable to Steven M. Georgiades. Note that you are
not LEGALLY obligated to register, but if you use the software
regularly, you are MORALLY obligated to do so. Aside from easing your
conscience, basic registration will also get you a diskette containing
the latest version of the software (unless you currently have the
latest version, in which case I will send you the next major revision),
a printed version of the documentation (8-1/2 x 11, unless you specify
6-1/4 x 8-1/2), and basic user support, which means that I will work
with you to resolve problems, and will do minor customization. Full
registration will get you everything that basic registration does, plus
full user support, which includes telephone support and all major
revisions of the software for two (2) years from the date of
registration. Fully registered users will also receive new SMG
releases from time to time for evaluation. In return for these
evaluations, the user will receive full registration for the new
software at no charge. When you register, please specify the name of
the program, and the version number.
Note that no support will be given to unregistered users EXCEPT in
the case of MAJOR bugs which preclude the unregistered user from using
the program. I will then do my best to resolve these problems so that
the user may evaluate the software fully.
