Tools to repair corrupt ProDOS filesystem



	Are there any tools to repair a corrupt ProDOS filesystem.  I have no
bad blocks, but several files that I can't delete, copy, rename, etc... 
I get errors like "block owner not found", "volume bitmap corrupt",
etc...
	I tried to copy the whole volume using the GS/OS finder onto another
volume.  This fails with the above errors.  However, copying files one
at a time usually works.  I can back up the entire volume at the file
level using the archiver from gs/os 6.0.1.  However, I can't restore the
backup set onto a blank prodos volume of sufficient size.  I get the
same errors as above.  This makes no sense to me, as I'm expecting the
archiver to basically doing a tar/gzip.
