Description:

This program searches for areas of disc that are marked as used in the map,
but are not in fact occupied by any files. It then creates a directory of
dummy files that use these areas. It will then check the hard disc map
again, and if 'Map good' is reported, will exit. You can then delete these
files, and the wasted space on the hard disc will be recovered. If the map
is still inconsistent, it will remove the files again, and your hard disc
will be left unaltered.

WARNING: A bug has been found in FixDisc which may cause it to go wrong
on occasions.  A fixed version will be available in a few weeks time.
