sounds like a disk defrag and compact app from alpha microsystems.. 23 or 24
years ago..
it would do ALL this stuff and then leave the HDD in the same state as
before..
there was a simple bug in the program..
that was when a 10meg.. yes MEG..! HDD was $8k and made by control data..
are you sure it does not work..??
Cordially, :-)
