What is the best way to recover contiguous space on a Winchester disk
pack?  I remember hearing that there are problems in VMS Version 4.0,
in which files can be lost or corrupted if the pack they are on is heavily
fragmented.  The largest contiguous free space on our CDC 9730 (emulates
an RM80) is only 448 blocks.
