An other point I'd like to mention is the speed of the SH204 harddisk: of course it is slowing down because of the file fragmentation, but I can hardly only blame tiver code? I'm wondering how well written it is... Ps: I started thinking about all this when I saw one of those horrible *don't-say-the-name* ..DOS machines perform FAST after a cleanup... Jan Joris Vereijken
