Another program I posted which I didn't see show up is ILEAVE16, now
reportedly ILEAVE17, or iau.exe, which measures your interleaf and gets
the best interleaf, and will do a non-destructive re-format. I would exercise
caution if I had anything non-standard, e.g. RLL.
Good luck finding it, it seems to ba around a lot of places or maybe someone
else can post it.
