There is no diskette image online, but they have CD ISO images
online. The diskette versions are self-extracting Windows
thingies... Did anybody test how you can install them without
Windows? Maybe just use "unzip" on the exe? Contents include
PC-Doctor (not by IBM, it seems) and a ram tester (probably
less cool than free open Memtest86+ from www.memtest.org ;-))
as well as two harddisk wipers (full-disk and FAT-only). Good
question for DOS users: Does this "DOS based ... utility" ISO
come with a nice version of PC-DOS and some nice drivers? If
so, is any licensing information included? :-) And can somebody
shed some light on which things you can do with PC-Doctor? ;-)

Eric
