[comp.sys.ibm.pc] HD defragmenter

jwbirdsa@phoenix.Princeton.EDU (James Webster Birdsall) (04/27/89)

   Anybody know of a reliable public-domain or shareware HD
defragmenter? (or whatever it is that they're called -- my brain lost
the name on me just as I went to type it...)

   Thanx...

  The one I like is called SST (seek stoper). It moves data on the fly
and will trash the disk if power drops or you stop it. They tell you to
make a backup before running it. It's very fast compared to a few others
I've tried.

  I think I got it off c.b.i.p, and it's probably in an archive.
