On Compuserve the developer of Diskfit said exactly that: "The newest version of Diskfit fixes a bug in the join routine". He said he was delivering the new version to Supermac the next day (~ 1 week ago). He said also that the bug was in the join operation, not the split, and that old backup sets were still good. -- + Jim Budler Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
