     Well, for hard disk optimization, there is a commercial program
for the Amiga that just came out called "Quarterback Tools". That is
really the only tool the program has but it works quite well in 
organizing your sectors and setting them up sequentially as well as
trying to link lost clusters etc. It sells for around $69.
As for a disk editor there are quite a few PD prog's out there. I 
have a good one called Hack (hmmm... questionable name, taste wise)
but it allows track editing straight from disk or from a file read
into ram. As soon as I make positive that it's PD i'll upload it to
nasa archives.
