fsck?  For the ST??  Haven't heard of it for the ST, although I suppose it's plausible.

fsck is the more-or-less standard file system checker and fixer for Unix systems.  The Unix
version has been around for a long time (nearly 10 years).  I haven't heard of anyone
writing such a beastie with the same name for MS-DOS or TOS, although for DOS there are
a few similar things (Norton, et. al.).
