Scott, Are you still with a company that uses FAST? If so, it does a good job of checking file integrity and doesn't interfere with other users.
COUNT will find gross errors, FILE.STAT is a little better, but these kinds of utilities can miss problems such as a large record with a flink / blink problem several buffers along the chain.

I see that fixtool will set an exclusive file lock when executing without any options. If I understand correctly, the -start and -stop options will scan the file setting group locks. Would it work to set -start to 1 and -stop to the last group in the file? If so, how do I tell what the last group of the file is?
