a colleague here was showing me some stuff on an IBM PC and he happened to be showing me some of the Norton Utilities package. One program in that package is a hard disk optimizer that looked quite neat: what it did was treated the hard disk as a gigantic "sliding block puzzle" in an attempt to (a) get all of the files written out using near-contiguous blocks, and (b) get all the free space collected in one place. Is there a utility like that for the Amiga? __ / ) Bernie Cosell /--< _ __ __ o _ BBN Sys & Tech, Cambridge, MA 02238 /___/_(<_/ (_/) )_(_(<_ cosell@bbn.com

There is a program called BAD. It is done by a small two person company called
MV-Micro. It does a good job of cleaning disk fragmentation up, and a
by-product of this is a faster drive. Boy, this was direct and to the point! :>
