Hi All,

	I am looking for an inexpensive solution to the general problems that
drop by my area: trashed SCSI drives, files deleted (hard / floppies), disk
errors (hard / floppies), file corruption (binary data / resource fork editor),
file type / creator / flag changing, etc.  All the things I can "hack" a fix
to, using a million & one different programs, some grossly out of date (My
MacZap still works on 400K MFH disks!).

	What I need is 1 (2?) well-thought out system(s) for recovery of these
problems.  Sorta like what I have Norton for, for the PCs.

	Please, send your comments _directly_ to me.  I will summarize to the
net if enough requests for summary are received, otherwise, requestors will get 
summaries by direct mail.

	I know _of_ SUM, Norton, etc., but _don't_ know what they do.  Make
believe I don't know _anything_, and can't afford to go out and buy a copy of
each for evaluation.  Ease of use is not as important as overall functionality
(I deal with at least 4 different User Interfaces daily - I can live with
another!).

	Thanx in advance!
	James
