- I have been using Speedisk under OS/2 for many months now. It works,
- and it doesn't touch the EA files. Some people say that they have
- defragmented EA DATA. SF, but it seems like the EAs are "strategically"
- placed near the file that they belong to so I haven't messed with them.
- Just make sure you Dual Boot, then use a defragmenter like Speedisk
- or DOG (Shareware I believe, check the FAQ.)
