- Read the tale of the programm that destroyed itself:
-
- In the DiskSalv manual there is the story of the C= guys deciding
- whether DiskDoctor should experience further development or not by
- simply copying the DiskDoctor sources onto a newly formatted disk
- and then starting DiskDoctor on that disk.
-
- DiskDoctor corrupted the (correct) disk and thus was considered useless :D
