Send mail, I will summarize. Does anyone have any source code (in C or PASCAL) that will, at least partially, defragment an ODS 2 filesystem? The problem I am trying to solve is to create a contiguous file of N blocks on a file system where I know there are N blocks free, but where the free blocks may not be contiguous. For the curious, this is not for VMS but for VAXELN, and I am *not* creating a contiguous file for performance reasons... I am creating a file to be booted by VMB (which requires a contiguous file). Alternatively, does anyone have a secondary bootstrap program that will boot an arbitrary (possibly non-contiguous) file from an ODS 2 filesystem? Thanks! -- --- Robert Withrow, R.W.
