   You might want to check out a utility called 'File System Repack', sold
   by Burke & Burke, of Renton, WA.  It is sold for CoCo OS-9 Level Two
   microcomputers, but they might have a version for OSK.  If you want to
   check into it, you can contact them at:

        Burke & Burke
        P.O. Box 58342  Renton, WA  98058

   Hope this can help you.
