> SCANDISK - this should be implemented as an user interface to DOSFSCK

Yes, for this you should strip down dosfsck (throw out delayed writing and
the undelete feature). Then you should make it compile with turbo c++ and
then with a litle bit of tweaking the rest of the code you should be able
to get it to run in 16bit DOS.

Nobody attempted to port dosfsck to 16bit dos yet, because it was deemed
to be to hard, mostly because we assumed that all the data was kept in memory
without being written to the disk. But in dosfsck this behaviour is optional,
you can also just simply write to the disk, without storing everything into
memory.

After you can get this to run you could change all the input/output from
the user to show up in dialogs, this should not be to difficult (might be
a lot of work though?).
