Does anyone know of a utility that will defragment a file, that is, ensure
that the file is stored contiguously, perhaps by shuffling other things
around.  DiskExpress, for example, wants to do this to every file on a hard
disk (and so takes a lot of time).  The other kind of utility I know about,
like SUM HD Tuneup, quickly defragments as many files as it can, but there
is no guarantee that the file you care about will end up defragmented.

Thanks for any help
