- Well if I were you I would check out the new Diamond Edge program from
- Oregon Research Associates (you know, the people who made Diamond Back).
- It was slated for release this weekend at the Glendale fair (MMM, wish I
- were there!), and their ad in the latest Atari Explorer gives a pretty
- enticing description of it. For example, it does disk/data recovery,
- undelete, optimization (this is what you want), etc.
-
- Looks like a good program, especially based on their past success with
- Diamond Back and Diamond Back II.
