Allen Morris III, on each of my two 10MB Miniscribe drives. It works, that is, it really does help disk performance and it doesn't damage the disk, at least as far as I can tell. Many bulletin board systems will have the file, usually as DOG101A.ARC. I have heard others say they've successfully used this package on other size TI PC drives, but I have no first-hand experience with anything other than my two (E: and F:) drives. I have, however, successfully used DOG on a 32MB partition on my IBM PC clone at home. This is a shareware package. The author asks $20 from government and business users, and "whatever its worth" from individuals. The software will defragment a drive, optionally order some or all of the files in a user-specified sequence, and it will trim unused space from subdirectories.
