I believe there is a disc defrag utility one or two people are making
and marketing for the HP 3000.  As for your DBload and UNload if you use
a product like DBGeneral, or Adadger they work far better then using
DBloads, and UNloads, they also have some other tools to help speed
database performance.  Also try storing stuff to tape, deleting the
stuff on the disc and restoring.

Although the new disc drives are the same ones you can buy for a PC, MPE
is still controlling how stuff is stored on your disc's.  Make sure you
have at least 20-25% of your total disc storage space free.

May the force be with you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
