Another, excellent reformatter, which also saves data so it can reformat an
accidentally formatted disk (and, by the way, can also re-organize and consoli-
date files and directories) is MACE, Paul Mace SOftware, 123 First St,
Ashland, OR 97520, (503) 488-0224.

  It will also re-organize files on floppies and is generally an excellent
program.  I've not used Norton since I've had MACE.

Another major advantage, is that it costs considerably less than Norton--
about $70 I think.
