- Whew!
-
- Work is being done on a HFS repairing program. The work isn't being
- done by ARDI, but hopefully we will be able to redistribute it.

- Someone else posted some mods you could make so Win '95 wouldn't
- cache. I don't know whether those mods help, in fact, our Win '95
- machine (a laptop) was stolen (out of my car). We hope to have a new
- Win '95 machine, soon.
-
- NOTE: Real Macs do this occasionally, too, although real Macs are
- better at detecting the errors early and are better at automatically
- doing some clean up when minor problems are found.

- I don't think it would help right now. Thanks for the offer.
