	If DiskExpress is doing THAT, I'd hope that they'd never hear the
	end of it ... somehow I'd find that hard to believe...  can you
	indicate a version number of DiskExpress that you are using?
	(you should never fail to give a bit more information than just
	the name of a piece of software)

	anyway, I've been beta-testing the Norton Disk Utilites, and I am
	rather confident that they'd catch and fix the problem, if any 
	software does.  A nice set of utilities which I'd hope gets bundled
	for sale by a few disk-labels ...
