Description:

What does it do?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well, basically it runs 'fsck' in the background (allowing you to continue
work in the desktop) and lets you know how it went. Since running fsck in
this manner produces no screen output it makes it suitable for use as a
repeating task alarm in !Alarm (which is basically why I wrote the thing).


Features:
	* 'Auto-Quit'   If fsck returns 'map good', the appplication can
	                be set to quit after a (configurable) delay. See
	                the !Run file to find out how.
	* Small window; takes up very little room on your desktop. Notice
	                the 'toggle size' icon? full size (but still nice
	                and small) the window gives a little more info.
	* Beeping;      if fsck returns a 'bad' code for whatever reason,
	                the app can be made to beep at reqular intervals
	                (to hopefully get your attention). Again, see the
	                !Run file to find out how.
	* Configurable; you can set the disc to 'fsck' in the !Run file, or
	                (more versatile), use "%0" and tag the disc name onto
	                the app. name in !Alarm's 'Set Alarm' window.
	* Compact & neat.
