I would like to thank Uli Kuebler for a really nice
utility, FATSPEED.  It really speeds up writing
to hard disk partitions.

For example:
	copy 40 files (smallest = 1KB, largest = 200KB, total size = 530KB)
	from partition D: to a new directory on partition C: (partition
	C: is 10MB, with about 5.4MB free).
	command given at msh prompt: time "cp * c:\tmp"

	without FATSPEED time returned:     0:07:27.500
	
	with FATSPEED time returned:        0:02:58.275
	
	That's over 2.5 times faster!!

Now for the inevitable question:
How'd ya do it??

Thanks again,
Joe Gilray (hpldola!jg)
