It's bogus, forget it! (Sigh, this is the umpteenth posting on this subject)

The newest version is 4.01 (which differs from 4.0 only in the fact
that you can call it with the -n option which will run it in the
background; also if you have one running already it will ask to
either open it's window if it was running in the background,
or quit it or cancel)
Hmm... there is only one 'bug': If you install a bootblock with it
it doesn't say 'bootblock healed' anymore but 'bootblock headled'
(or something similar) Funny, because that part shouldn't have been
touched. (Or is this a bogus version too? Nahh...)
