There are three commercial optimizers I know of these days: the one with the
SUM tools, Disk Express and PowerOP.  I use Disk Express because:

1)  I've used it for years, and it's never screwed up.

2)  It's the only optimizer that has a choice of fast optimization (which
    the other optimizers use), where files are concatinated together again,
    and the longer optimization, where the free space on the disk is made
    contigous again.  This is a VERY HAND FEATURE if you are going to be
    partitioning your disk.  I hope that SUM decides to add this feature to
    their disk optimizer, since they have partitioning software in SUM.

                           "This is a job for BOB VIOLENCE and SCUM, the
