After a few months of poking around the structure of HPFS, 
I combined all of the testing programs I wrote into one 
program, which does the following:

1) Show system area usage
2) Show free space discrepancy
3) Show formatted HPFS SuperBlock and SpareBlock
4) Show bad sector count
5) Show drive dirty status
6) Set or toggle drive dirty status
7) Dump sectors to file

These seven things can be done one at a time, or during one 
program run (though doing all seven at once is of dubious 
utility).  As one would expect, the standard disclaimer 
applies: Use this program at your own risk.  It has been 
tested on every HPFS partition I have (nine partitions 
ranging from 130MB to 3GB), but that's it.  It should work 
on any partition size that OS/2 and HPFS support, now and 
in the future.

The program is being released into the public domain, with 
all of the source code.  The archive can be downloaded 
from:

When archived:
