[describes the way his program works, claims it is safe, but still want's you
 to make backups :-)]

Just that nobody gets a wrong impression, ReOrg works  quite well, and
is as safe as possible, IF you follow the instructions  (then it is as
safe as your backup program).

While it  would have been trivial  to add all  the fixing and checking
code to ReOrg, I've got something against kitchen-sink programs. ReOrg
is supposed to be a TOOL to be used together with other programs:

		     "Power tools are not toys!"

BTW, while your program sounds quite nice,  it would fail miserably on
two of the four partitions on my HD (guess why...).
