You might be able to ignore it. Supposedly, HPFS (like NTFS) is much more resistant to fragmentation
problems. I've never found that much in the way of fragmentation since I switched to HPFS a few years
ago.

But, just in case, a scan of Norloff's ALLFILES listing brought up the following:

HPFSDFRG.ZIP 13K 3-05-94 Utility to defragment files on an HPFS partition.
Please read the file readme.1st prior to executing
this program.
COMPRESS.ZIP 8K 2-18-91 A method for defragmenting an HPFS volume.
HPDF_103.ZIP 15K 8-04-94 Utility to defragment files on HPFS partitions.
Please read the file README.1ST prior to executing
this program.

The age of these util.s does give me some pause, but let me know if you want to take a look at any of
them. I have a subscription, and could easily get them for you.
