Nice idea Christof;
It was in the main Arachne directory and was the 85th out of 103
to fall. Or I should say that was its position in recovery.
I DID tweak to a possible association here - not with the utility
itself, but with the archive flags it uses. Maybe only those files
flagged as requiring archiving were deleted.
A check with ATTRIB indicated that *ALL* the archive flags were set.
The normal condition after running getnload is for almost all to be
clear. They are almost all clear now, after the reload.
I am currently assuming that Norton Speedisk set them during the last
compacting run. This is bad news for my archiving system if true, but
I don't know yet.
The only other possibilitites for this flag changing are one of the
Commander utilities or it was part of the crash.
