[Coco] Need a dir -e but extended.

Greetings;

I have a bad fd sector that is making dcheck bail out.

It is reporting a sector error for a sector that is not even on the disk, 
so its obvious I have a contaminated FD sector, but a few hours of doing 
dir -e's here and there looking for a bogus list, I have not found it yet.

A decade or more back, we had a disk or file utility that worked something 
like a dir -e does now, but where a dir -e only gets the location of that 
filenames fd sector and reports that as the files address, it read and 
decoded the rest of that sector to show where each piece of the file was 
located on the disk, and also the size of the file from that FD, this 
utility returned a complete list of all the allocated sectors and the size 
of each allocation.  So it showed the offset and size of every segment of a 
files fd sector.  But I don't recall the name of the thing and nothing I see 
on that Seagate's various cmds dirs (there are several) rings even a teeny 
little bell.

Can someone refresh my memory?  Please?
