- On a tangent, is there any utility that can track free CPU/disk time and
- apply them for purposeful activity? For example, if the hard disk is
- sitting idle, then OS/2 could do some defragmentation or swapfile/*.ini
- maintenance. Perhaps a program launcher (even a REXX script) with these
- programs set at very low priorities could do the same thing. (The swap-
- file maintenance would be especially useful.)
