Introduction
------------
fsck is a suite of programs that are able to analyse and fix E-Format discs.
If you are only interested to fix your broken disc soon, try to read the
!QuickFix file.
Here's a list and a brief description of the programs included in this
package:
fsck (1.31) - map fixer and analyst
-----------------------------------
fsck is a disc utility that tries to fix the map of an E-Format disc (hard
or floppy) if it is corrupted for some obscure reasons. fsck can also report
some informations about the way the files are allocated (such as the bytes
lost because of sectors boundaries) and eventually print a detailed
description of the map and directories organization.
fsck can also be considered as a replace of the *CheckMap command because it
is faster, less prone to crash and gives useful informations on the files
allocation.
eliminate (1.21) - file eliminator!
-----------------------------------
eliminate is a disc utility that eliminates a file from the directory but not
from the disc map. This means that the disc space used by the file is lost
(you should recover it using fsck). eliminate can effectively be useful only
to remove the files that cannot be deleted in the usual way by RISC OS (for
example a broken directory).
hardfix (1.11) - heavily damaged disc fixer
-------------------------------------------
hardfix is a disc utility that fixes the errors that can affect the boot
block, the 2 copies of the map and the root directory without having to scan
the whole directory tree. These sort of errors generally make the disc
un-readable or un-writable!
hardfix can also be used to write the bootblock, map and root directory to a
file, so that you can always try to restore them in case they are totally
damaged (ie. absolutely not-fixable).
Conditions of use
-----------------
The programs and files included in the fsck suite cannot be distributed
separately.
For the conditions of distribution and use, see the !SHAREWARE file.
