These programs reorganize the sectors of the hard disk so that all the sectors of a file are together. That way, seek time and mechanical wear is minimized because the hard disk does not have to scan all over the surface of the media to read sectors that are not contiguous. Does any such program exist in the Mac realm? Where can I find them. Thanks. nghiem@emx.utexas.edu !cs.utexas.edu!ut-emx!nghiem
