     When I examine my hard drive with Disk Express II, it shows two
areas which have anchored files.  One is Virtual's swap file.  I don't
know what the other file(s) is/are.  I'd like to find out so that I
could temporarily move them to floppy because its/their present
position screws things up for DE II's defragmentation algorithm.  Does
anyone out there know how I can find out which files are anchored?

     I'm running System 6.0.5 with Finder 6.1.5 and the following inits:
     	  Gatekeeper AID     	  Gatekeeper
     	  Virtual   	   	  Desktop Manager
     	  Disk Express II     	  On Cue
     	  QuickKeys     	  SuitCase
     	  SuperClock!     	  Complete Undelete
     	  Pyro 4.0       	  Boomerang
     	  Remember?
but the anchored files still show up as anchored if I boot from a
floppy, so I don't think the system configuration is particularly relevant.

Thanks,
Steve
