In the near future,  I will be responsible for repairing mac disks 
for a large number of macintosh users(the dartmouth college community).
I have done such work before,but I have been away from the trade for
about 3 months.  What I amlooking for is pointers to users favorite 
software to perform such tasks.  I am familiar Fedit, Mactools,
First Aid, and we have a small utility (I believe shareware) 
named FileFixer.  Are there any others of importance?


I am also looking people who are interested in disk repair and are 
willing to share experiences they have had.  I have learned most
of what I know by myself and would be interested to compare/contrast
methods with people who have had repair experience.  Is there anyone
out there who has been doing this stuff on a regular basis?

Finally,  I am searching for documentation on file formats for various
word processing packages.  Formats for MacWrite, Word, and WriteNow
would seem most important as the user group I am supporting relies 
heavily upon these packages.(and trashes them regularly)

In General any information/conversation upon the subject is more
than welcome.  I would also be glad to share what I already know 
with other users in the net.
