If you are familiar with the FAT and/or the disk organizing program DOG
(v 1.01a) I would appreciate any help you can give on a problem of mine.


	I am currently trying to get DOG v1.01a (a disk organizer) to work on
my system.  First, let me say that from what I can see of this program, it
is unbelievably good.  This makes my problem all the more frustrating.  The
program reports a "linkage error in FAT".  It then says to run "chkdsk /f".
This I do, but as far as chkdsk is concerned, everything is aok.  DOG will
run if I give it a command line order instead of using order.dog (i.e. 
Simply make all file congruent, rather than putting them in a special
order, or putting fragmented file on the inside tracks of the disk.), making
the problem all the more confusing.  My hard drive is a Seagate ST-251 and
I am using "Disk Manager" from Ontrack Software to get a ~40Mb partition.
I assume that the FAT is the same as in normal DOS because chkdsk likes it,
as well as some other FAT fixing/viewing programs I have gotten from
BBS's.  If you know of a bug in DOG (hopefully of a fix as well :-), or you
know how I might fix my FAT (is anything really wrong?), or you have a
program that might help me fix my FAT, I would really appreciate the help
(along with any other help you care to offer :-).  (Unbelievable sentence
eh? :-)

	E-mail or the usenet is fine.  I read both.  :-)
