Duke University Computation Center is maintaining over 200 IBM-PC's on
campus, and we have two questions:

	1) should you clean mini-floppy drives (Tandon TM-100 or equiv.)
	2) should you realign the head(s)

We have heard mixed reports on both.  Both questions refer to *regular*
practice, preventative, as opposed to "when it stops working". If yes to
either, how often and how? Please mail responses and I will summarize
to the net.
