I am in a sticky situation here. I have received at least 30 requests for the hard disk defragger that I received from another user (forgot his name and lost his %&&*@# mail). The thing worls well, but I cannot ascertain if it is PD or shareware or anything. The only information is the following blurb when you click on the SHOW INFO menu and look under the version header: Defragmentation Control Panel by Steve Bryan c 3 February Help!

However, as no year is given as to the copyright date, it is questionable as to whether or not it is a legal copyright. Try posting to misc.legal and see if someone there has an answer.
