TidBits has just pointed out that CCC is about to become obsolete, so 
to speak:

> **Disk Utility Engulfs Others** -- Who knew that Disk Utility had

>   repairing damaged disks, fixing permissions, and initializing and
>   partitioning disks. In Panther, however, Disk Utility has taken
>   over the disk image functions of Disk Copy, so you can use it to
