         This  program  enables  the user to easily determine what  file  a 
    specified  cluster  belongs  to.    The first cluster on  any  disk  is 
    considered by DOS to be #2.  
         Some utilities will check all the clusters on your disk to see  if 
    any are bad.   But once you know which cluster is bad, you have no easy 
    way  of  determining what file that cluster belongs to.   This  program 
    solves that problem.   You give it the cluster number in question,  and 
    it  will search all of the directories on the disk to  determine  which 
    file  "owns"   it.    Once you have determined which file  the  cluster 
    belongs  to,   you can then copy it to another place on the  disk,   or 
    RECOVER it, or simply delete it.   You may then use the MARK program to 
    mark that cluster as bad.  


    Command Format:

         OWNER [d:] n [[d:] n [...]]

              d: = Optional Drive Letter
              n  = Cluster Number to Check

    
    Examples:

         OWNER 10       (Will tell what file owns cluster 10 on the default
                         drive)

         OWNER A: 100   (Will tell what file owns cluster 100 on Drive A:)

         OWNER D: 5 12  (Will tell what file owns cluster 5 on Drive D:, 
                         and what file owns cluster 12 on Drive D:)

         OWNER 17 A: 7  (Will tell what file owns cluster 17 on the default 
                         drive, and what file owns cluster 7 on Drive A:)


    Revision History:

         Versions 1.00-1.52  Pre-Release Versions

         Version 1.60        Added ability to specify drive letter and 
                             multiple clusters on command line.  

         Version 1.61        Fixed obscure bug that would cause "Appears to 
                             be lost" messages erroneously.  Should also 
                             run faster in this version.

         This software is distributed as ShareWare.  "ShareWare" means that 
    you  are granted free license to use and copy this software as much  as 
    you like, within the following restrictions: 

         1).  It  is  distributed  in  its  original,   unmodified  form, 
              including source code and documentation. 

         2).  No  fee is charged for use,  copying or distribution  (With 
              the exception of nominal "per disk" copying charges, not to 
              exceed $6.00 per disk).  

         3).  The  program  may  not  be included  with  other  goods  or 
              services  supplied for a fee,  unless written permission to 
              do so is obtained in advance from the author.  

    You are not required to register your shareware,  but if you are  using 
    the  program,   and  find it helpful,  you are  expected  to  register.  
    Registration fees are as follows: 
    
              Full Registration (w/full support) ........ $25.00
              Basic Registration (w/basic support) ...... $15.00

    Note that you are not LEGALLY obligated to register, but if you use the 
    software  regularly,  you are MORALLY obligated to do so.   Aside  from 
    easing your conscience, basic registration will also get you a diskette 
    containing  the  latest version of the software (unless  you  currently 
    have  the latest version,  in which case I will send you the next major 
    revision),  a printed version of the documentation (8-1/2 x 11,  unless 
    you specify 5-1/2 x 8-1/2), and basic user support,  which means that I 
    will   work  with  you  to  resolve  problems,   and  will   do   minor 
    customization.    Full registration will get you everything that  basic 
    registration  does,  plus full user support,  which includes  telephone 
    support and all major revisions of the software for two (2)  years from 
    the date of registration.  Fully registered users will also receive new 
    SMG  releases  from time to time for evaluation.   In return for  these 
    evaluations,   the  user  will receive full registration  for  the  new 
    software at no charge.   When you register,  please specify the name of 
    the program, and the version number. 
         Note that no support will be given to unregistered users EXCEPT in 
    the  case of MAJOR bugs which preclude the unregistered user from using 
    the program.  I  will then do my best to resolve these problems so that 
    the user may evaluate the software fully.
