	I did not even expect HD-TuneUp to be able to defragment my System
	file on the hard disk if I was running from the hard disk.

	For such work, I boot from a "CLEAN" floppy, create a RAMdisk and
	move the System Folder there and run the  utilities from there.
	no reason to take chances mucking around with my "essentials"
	with all those weird INITs and other stuff which makes my HD-System
	Folder an accident waiting to happen ... I just know that someone
	will now ask me which RAMdisk I have all this confidence in ....(-:
