  Yes.  I have successfully used the Disk OrGanizer (DOG), written by G.
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.
