- There is indeed such a utility. It's called "B.A.D." (Blitz Amy's
- Disks), works with floppies and hard drives (so long as there are no
- hard errors on them) and is a commercial program published by
- Centaur Software. See your dealer. B.A.D. works quite well.. it's
- designed to solve the problem you describe and it does exactly that.
