Not sure what went wrong. I ran the scanner as you suggested and 
it was coming up clean except for one Access DB file. This file 
reported an I/O error and the scan aborted.

I was still scratching my head because nothing seemed to be 
wrong. That was until I fired up Pegasus mail. It wouldn't check my 
POP host for new mail. All the configs were gone, as if the prog 
had just been installed and run for the first time. I decided it would 
be a good opportunity to upgrade to the latest version but when I 
started Netscape to download it, Netscape had lost all of its 
configs.

I decided to cut my losses att his point, backed up all my data and 
fdisked the lot. Things are looking better now.

Has anyone run into a problem like this? First the linux superblock 
thing followed by this?

Cheers,
Damion.
