That NT isn't "prone" to fragmentation is the old MS line - but even MS now
admits it happens.  In addition, NT 5.0 will include a version of DiskKeeper
built in.  That shows me two points:

1.  Even NT becomes fragmented (and it does), and MS recognizes this; and,
2.  NT may not officially support DiskKeeper, but it thinks highly enough of
it to include it in NT 5.0.
