- I seemed to have noticed that files on my disks aren't exactly
- contiguous. There seem to be 512 byte 'holes' on the disk that
- separate different files' data. Is this an optimization of
- ProDOS? Can I write a disk utility that can move the files'
- data closer together and change the directory structure to reflect
- the change using read_block/write_block and read/write?
- I'm using ProDOS v1.9 currently. Am I imagining things as usual?
