BEACHCOMBER
P U R P O S E :
BEACH COMBER is a ProDOS volume de-fragmenter. It will
rearrange the data on a drive such that all directories are at the
beginning of the disk, and all files will have contiguous data
blocks. This makes for much more efficient file access. Normally
this program need only be run once every 3 to 6 months.
There are three version of BEACH COMBER; BEACH COM-
BER.10, BEACH COMBER.20 and BEACH COMBER.32.
BEACH COMBER.lO is used on ProDOS volumes of ten
megabytes. The program requires 128kb of RAM space. The
program does not need, or use, any storage space on the disk. It
is limited to volumes that have no used blocks above 10MB. It
is also limited to 255 tree files.
BEACH.COMBER.20
is
for twenty megabyte drives and re-
quires a /RAM volume with 512 or more contiguous blocks (i.e.
256K free) to work. It will work with the has /RAM5, with the
ProSe! ram driver and the AE Prodrive, but not with the Check-
mate driver which
has
“illegal blocks”.
BEACH.COMBER.32 is for 32 megabyte volumes and ONLY
works on a has with more than 512K free ram (checked by the
program). It does NOT use /RAM5 so it is best to have a small
RAMS set up or none at all.
HOW TO USE:
THERE ARE ONLY TWO RULES TO USING BEACH
COMBER:
1. First, run Mr.FIXIT twice, taking the test and bad
block scan options to make sure the disk Is OK.
2 . ALWAYS make a BACKUP before running the Beach
Comber program!!!!
