I'm not sure if 'fsck' would fix these
Turns out it was called 'fcheck' when we had it.
I have a V6 one
I'd already put it on my Web site, here:
http://ana-3.lcs.mit.edu/~jnc/tech/unix/s1/fcheck.c
if anyone wants it.
From: "Ron Natalie"
You had adb?
Yeah, MIT had a lot of stuff that 'fell off the back of a truck' (including
things like the circuit design tools, etc). Well, having an undergrad who was
in the famous Boy Scout troop at Bell helped... :-)

What I finally did was restore the ".disk"
files from a previous backup
You may sit with Arlo Guthrie on the 'Windows user' bench. :-)
From: "Theodore Ts'o"
some have argued that if someone doesn't do
backups of their research
data, maybe they don't *deserve* to get their Ph.D. :-)
'Think of it as evolution in action.'
Although I like the old story about the person at their oral exam and
the Coke bottle in the window.

Noel,
Downloaded your fsck.c to play with but things are missing:
# cc fsck.c
Undefined:
_setexit
_reset
_seek
_alloc
_end
Is there a makefile?
Yes, I am trying to compile it on Unix v7.

This is AFAIK the only parody ever to appear on Arlo's own site (it is no
longer there). It was an update/rewrite of the MIT version.
Although I like the old story about the person at

Details?

That is close, but slightly different to the PWB fcheck.c
