- DCHECK is a program which supplements the DUPCHECK utility of version
- 1.41 TurboDOS. When DUPCHECK shows multiple allocation blocks, you
- should run DCHECK.
-
- DCHECK runs up to three passes across the directory, so it may run
- for up to five minutes on a large hard disk.
-
- On the first pass, it simply reads the current disk allocation map.
- On the second pass, duplicate allocation blocks are collected and
- unallocated blocks are displayed, along with the filename.
- Only if there are any duplicate blocks will a third pass be performed,
- which displays all duplicate block addresses and affected files along
- with a recommendation as to remedy the problem.
-
-
- A few notes...
-
- - you might want to do a ATN-^P sequence before starting DCHECK to record
- its output to the printer, especially if DUPCHECK showed lots of errors.
- - DCHECK will not run on any disk with less than 255 allocation blocks.
