When I told my collegue I was about to de - frag the AMIGA, I then
cotinued - "Well - Re - ORG to be exact" he was so surprized, that he passed
on the message to his collegue - who's been in AMIGAS - Forever !

"You can't DE FRAG an AMIGA - There is no way"

I feel sure that EVERYONE with an AMIGA (1200 - 4000) will have a HARD
DRIVE - SURELY EVERYONE USES "RE-ORG" don't they.

I've got NOTHING WHATEVER to to with the program. I have it, I thought
everyone else did;

'sept this guy "no reflection decent bloke & all this", has been doing
AMIGAS years, and never had  [ de - frag }

is this a WIND - UP ? (Not serious - just is someone having a bit of fun - I
don't mind !) ;-0

Drop us a line chaps & chapesses ?

Where would someone get such software? I have never seen it.
Thanks

I've used Re-Org before now....  It works really well.  I think you can
get it off Aminet (or off an Amiga Format CD).  There should be an
update for it on Aminet too for version 3.1 -> 3.11

The reason most people think that you can't re-org an Amiga is that it
is hardly ever needed.  It has a very well organised filesystem.  I
needed to do it once in 5 years and that was on the partition where I
download and un-archive lots of stuff so files are continuously being
added/deleted.  A browser cache partition would also be a good
candidate.

It only works on OFS/FFS partitions, not on alternative filesystems like
PFS.  I'm not sure if it was bad cables on my part, but when I tried to
re-org a cartridge in my external SCSI Syquest EZ230 flyer drive, it
buggered up the cartridge, but my cables do have a little too much
sellotape on them!!!  ;-)

It is also good for speeding up WB access to the drives as it can
reorganise the disk so that all the icon files are in the first blocks
so that windows open up faster.  If you are not a big WB user, you can
set it to put files or directories first too so that file access is
slightly faster...

Over-all a good program and I'd recommend it without a pause...

try
  http://ftp.uni-paderborn.de/aminet/ for Aminet
in
  ReOrg3_1.lha       disk/optim 326K 100 Disk optimizer with DC-FFS
support
  ReOrg3_11pch.lha   disk/optim  19K 100 Patch from ReOrg 3.1 to ReOrg
3.11
