I ran a program that is suppose to overwrite all free space on the
hard drive so previously deleted files could not be retrieved. Did
this also overwrite ZZTOP? How can I tell?

ZZtop resists to format and fdisk. The only thing that will destroy it is a
file written on its used sectors.

You can check your ZZtop is still avaible by launching it and then running the
"file integrity check".

I don't know, but from what I rememberf from this newsgroup, it may be
something like typing "zz" and something, maybe zz -status I don't

If you change the file system of the partition that ZZTOP is in (IE from
FAT32 to FAT16), the image file will be corrupted, and switching the file
system back again will not help.

try typinf zz -zzcheck. That;s what the batch file call for during the
image integrity check.

Hope this helps!!!
