> No serial # on back of disk… Yep, I guess early releases of v2.0 did not have the serial # printed on the disk. No problem, as Mark double checked the first database and you are entered in that. We are transfering all that data to the new format this weekend. So… consider yourself registered! Reid Bishop

What is the current version of B.A.D.? I just optomized my needly full 80 meg Quantum and it took over FOUR DAYS! I would've liked to use B.A.D. but I have 3 meg of memory which isn't anywhere NEAR enough to do the job.

> What is the current version of B.A.D.? Current version is 3.15, which follows a chain of minor bug fixes since 3.0 was released. Sometime this month all registered users will receive a postcard detailing the newest version of B.A.D., which will be a _major_ upgrade. This version will implement virtual memory support for those monster gigabyte drives, improved processing algorithms, and a much improved and graphic interface. Not to mention a pre-scan phase that will detect problems with the drive prior to processing. This is the first _real_ upgrade to B.A.D., and thus the first notification to registered users. Keep posted here for more information regarding this release. -Reid Bishop M.V. Micro-

That sounds great. Unless you had MUCHO memory or a small drive B.A.D. did nothing for hard drives. I am glad to see that it will be updated.
