I'm afraid Chuq is confusing DiskExpress, which "de-fragments"
disks, with MacExpress, which is a programming tool for use in a
variety of environments as MacApp is in MPW.  While I have no
real experience with it, I did spend an hour watching over
someone's shoulder while he was using it, and it did look slick.
I'm quite certain it was used with Lightspeed C to develop a
rather powerful commercial application.
