I think the latest is DOG206. The reason I'm posting this to the net instead of EMail is because I am looking for a later version of the program that will handle DOS4.01.

OPTUNE.ARC was deleted from the SIMTEL20 archvies after reports were received that it destroyed data on some hard disks. It turns out that this is a preliminary Beta test version of a commercial product. We received word from the company that produces this product that we should delete the file for the reasons above.

Will any of these work with a hard disk with multiple DOS partitions. I
have a Seagate ST296N SCSI hard disk (80M), and SST (which I used to use
with my old ST125 20M disk) will NOT work.

Does DOG work with disks formatted under MS-DOS 4.01?

A couple of days ago, I posted a message asking for help on a HD defragmenter which would handle a SCSI hard disk with multiple DOS partitions. I'm using a Seagate ST296N (80 meg) with the ST01 8 bit controller. Someone suggested using REFORM16, and I did and quickly received an error message along the lines of "Unrecognized DOS version: DOS 6.0" or something resembling this. Has anyone else using a SCSI hard disk found a defragmenter that works. Note that REFORM was going to let me continue, but I did not feel like taking the chance of botching things up. Someone also suggested I try DOG206, but I have yet to do so. I'll post something on the results of this in case there are other people sharing my predicament. -- John Bodnar Internet: jbodnar@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu The University of Texas at Austin UUCP: ....!cs.utexas!ut-ccwf!jbodnar
