 The "best" (=works best for me) is available at
<A HREF="http://www.america.com/~kruse/home.html">Amiga PPP, ReORG,...</A>
 Look for ReOrg3.11+

 or from AmiNET:
ReOrg3_1.lha       disk/optim 326K 133+Disk optimizer with DC-FFS support
ReOrg3_11pch.lha   disk/optim  19K 131+Patch from ReOrg 3.1 to ReOrg 3.11

 You might find this useful too, sometime:
DiskSalv11_32.lha  disk/salv  118K  37+Dave Haynie's DiskSalv version 11.32

 A Fragmented disk:  a) Free space is not in one single chunk.
                     b) Large files end up "spread out" all over the disk.
                     c) Directory & File-header blocks (technical)
                        are "spread out".
                        Much of: write new file, delete very old file...

 All of the above makes disk access slower. Recalced to a %-age by ReOrg.
 This appears more or less on other OS'es too.
