   Right.  Well.  Exactly what problem this causes affects whether you'll    
   get any joy out of CHKVOL.  If it's simply the case that the volume    
   isn't properly unmounted, and some cached metadata changes aren't    
   written back to the medium, then CHKVOL might yield joy.  If the problem    
   is that this causes parts of the medium to become unreadable/unwritable,    
   then CHKVOL won't help because it doesn't address medium I/O errors.     
   The fact that you can recover from such a situation with SCANDISK is    
   indicative of the former being the case, not the latter.   
      
   Do you want to give CHKVOL a go?   
      
   It's not really part of a formal package like my other softwares, in    
   part because I'm not really at the stage of packaging up the whole that    
   it forms one part of into something releaseable.  So you'll get an    
   archive file with just the bare binaries, static data files, and no    
   documentation; and separate documentation on my own WWW server.
