- My hard drive has only ever become unvalidated as a result of either using a
- version of zoo or lharc etc. which crashed while writing to disk. Since then
- I ONLY unpack to RAM disk where I can diddle with it without mucking up my
- hard drive. If you don't have enough RAM then if the archive is not too large
- you can always unpack to an empty floppy. It may take a bit longer, but not
- nearly as long as fixing a hard drive partition.

- Just my opinion.....
