I've heard a lot of horror stories about it.  ProSel 16 is 
much better IMHO.  The latest version is (I believe) v8.84, and
it rocks!  It lets you fix volumes, copy files, optimize disks, 
get _extensive_ info on disks, edit blocks, etc. and even includes 
a simple shell.  A great program.

Also, ProSel 16's Optimization lets you abort the optimization (by
pressing <esc>) and continuing it later.

Does anyone know if Glen Bredon plans to update ProSel 16 to support
HFS volumes?  Thanks...
