Some disk caching software is necessary in order to make the hard disk
useful.  I use Turbodos (and nothing else) for this task.  The program
pair DLII and REORG by Poole are very useful for disk maintenance.
Unfortunately, I have not found REORG to be totally reliable - possibly
I haven't used it correctly.  DLII deals with crosslinked and missing
sectors, shows fragmentation etc.  REORG apparently puts sectors belonging
to a file in logical order on the disk.  But sometimes it seems to fail.
