Check your install floppies for a file named "MakeLink", install Geek
Gadgets and go find /df0 -iname makelink -print ;-)

AmiBackTools have excellent fix-in-place success rates on 512 Byte per
Block devices, while DS usually spoils things finally for fix-in-place
and leaves you with loads of "BAD-DIR-headerblocknumber". Never tried
QBT, probably never will :-)

expand("DS") == "DiskSalv"
expand("QBT") == "QuarterBackTools"
