Has anyone yet used DiskExpress II on an AppleShare file server?  Seems to
me that a server would tend to develop more fragmentation than a normal
user's hard disk, particularly if something like a database is being
accessed and augmented regularly.  And because a network is only as fast
as its slowest component, it's reasonable to think that you want your
server disk to be operating as efficiently and quickly as possible.
