<DIV><FONT color=#000000>Well, I asked George at Metastock and he provided me

I understand that when you see the message, "only 1% fragmented", this
refers to a percentage of your hard disk size. I have been told to always
defragment. If you want Scandisk to find something to fix, get kicked off
of the 'net or shut the machine off without closing all files. Then, I can
assure you, defrag will find something to fix.
