Hi all..
     When I boot up my machine I like to run  a  couple  of  dif-
ferent  programs  to  make life easier(don't we all :-).  I first
run shell, and then in my .login file  I  "run"  facc,mouseclock,
blitzfonts,  and "run" date > lastlogin to put my login time in a
file.  I get the [cli x] for the different tasks  as  they  start
up, the order goes something like:
[cli 2]
[cli 3]
[cli 2]
[cli 3]
     Now, my question is:  could my boot up time be shortened  if
I  waited  for each process to be loaded and running before I try
to  load  the  next  one??   The  disk  drive   makes   ALOT   of
brrrrrt...brrrrrt  noises (good description huh?? :-), like it is
jumping back and forth between the programs it is  simultaneously
trying to load.
     Could it also be that one of the programs  I  am  trying  to
load  are  just fragmented throught the disk (which is 90% full),
and if it is, how could I better "order  that  program,  would  I
have to copy the disk, file by file to keep the programs whole???

Thanks all....
                                                mike(r)
