I am posting this for a friend, please do not reply to me. -- Thanks, Paul

I am a novice AMIGA user and have encountered two problems which I hope
someone out there can help resolve:
 
Problem 1:
 
One of my most valued diskettes can no longer be accessed. Every time I
try to load it, the AMIGA responds with something like,
 
	DISK DATA STRUCTURE CORRUPT -- USE DISKDOCTOR TO FIX.
 
My question is who or what is DISKDOCTOR and where may I find him or it?
 
Now I know the moral of the story is to backup everything, but could I skip
the part about learning from mistakes and get my disk back ?
 
 
Problem 2:
 
I recently tried to download a wordprocessing program called MED from a 
local bulletin board. Although I set my protocol to match the bulletin
board (CRC-XMODEM) and apparently successfully downloaded, when I typed
the programs name at the CLI prompt, my AMIGA returned with ' ... NOT AN
OBJECT FILE '. 
 
I assumed that anything I download from a bulletin board is executable. Is
this correct ?
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Many thanks in advance,
