Does anyone know if a good optimizer exists in the public domain???

I have a 105M Quantum and I need something to optimize it.  A friend
of mine who has B.A.D. says it takes a lot of memory to run.  Even
though I have a 3Meg A2000, he has the same setup, but with a 40M drive,
and says sometimes it won't optimize his hard drive due to memory
restrictions.  He told me it was proportional to size of the hard drive,
and I know if it wouldn't do 40Megs, it surely won't do 105M.  Is this a
bug in the program or does it really take that much memory?

I don't want to buy it if it isn't gonna do the job.  Is there anything else
out there that will work on 105Megs? (Public domain or commercial?)

Thanks in advance,

J Parker
