     The only disk checker I have ever seen was something called DiskErr
 by Discovery Software.  If you typed DiskErr DF0: it would check the
 disk in drive DF0.  If you typed DiskErr DF1: it would check the disk
 in drive DF0: and if you typed DiskErr FjhdfDFryt: it would check the
 disk in drive DF0:.  I've been meaning to find out if there was a better
 program for the same porpose.

     On the subject, what is the best freely-distrbutable disk analization
 program.  DiskX?  I think I'll be needing them more and more.
