Someone asked about de-fragmentation.  If you keep an empty partition,
you can do it at your desktop.  No fuss about 512 or 2048, short, signed
short, long, unsigned, etc.  Just drag your stuff to another partition.
Clear the partition.  Drag back.

For a floppy, I recommend using a ramdisk as big as
the floppy, and copy to a new disk.
