  Thanks to someone on the net (sorry, I forgot your name but I deleted the 
mail already %|) I found DLII (024) and REORG.prg on Terminator: that seems to
have done a great job on my now ex-fragged disk.  This software was written by
Simon Poole and has a whole lot of disclaimers throughout the docs, but the 
check-disk option recognizes >512 logical sectors and it said something about
supporting >2 sector clustors (read: IBM?) in later releases.  I would think 
that the companion program (REORG.prg) would also have the capability of 
recognizing the 1k logical sectors (as per TOS 1.4, and various formatting 
utilities out by Supra and ICD).  If I am wrong about this, could someone
please show me the error of my ways...Simon?
