     There were several versions of Disk Muncher. The one I use does seem to do a
Verify after Write and will indicate errors. (It is modified to work with regular and
36 track diskettes and it waits for a keypress after a copy to allow viewing the
screen to check for error markers.)  I use it routinely to make backups with no
problem.

     This Disk Muncher is on the TNILUTIL disk available from GSWV and Ground. (For
