Each tool of the Norton Utilities has context-sensitive help,
available at a touch of the ^BF1^B key.

Whenever you are using a dialog box and you want instructions
on how to proceed, press ^BF1^B. When you've got a menu pulled
down, you can move the highlight to any item and press ^BF1^B for
help on that item.

When you are first getting familiar with a tool, you will
find it helpful to select the ^b[Index]^b button at the bottom
of any help screen. It displays a list of topics, at least
one of which provides background and introductory material.

^hHyperlinks^h are highlighted phrases in a help topic that 
transfer you to another topic. Select the ^b[Go To]^b button
(just press ^bG^b) or double-click the hyperlink text. Select
the ^b[Go Back]^b button (just press ^bB^b) to return to the
original topic. When more than one hyperlink is on a screen,
press ^bTab^b or ^bShift^b+^bTab^b to move among them.

Use ^B^B and ^B^B to move the selection bar in the drive list. All
of your DOS-recognized drives, including diskette drives and
DOS partitions are listed. Network drives are not listed; Speed
Disk cannot optimize network drives.

Press ^BEnter^B to select the highlighted drive for optimization,
or press ^BEsc^B to back out of this dialog box.

Before Speed Disk begins optimizing, it will analyze the drive
and make a recommendation as to the best optimization method.
At that time, you may choose to modify the various configuration
settings before optimizing.

^BNote:^B When you select a new drive, Speed Disk loads its
      configuration file (SD.INI). If you have just finished
      configuring a set of options for a previous disk, you
      may wish to save your option settings before you select
      another drive. See ^hSave Options to Disk^h on the
      Configure menu (^BAlt^B+^BC^B,^BS^B).
This command begins the optimization process. Choose it after
you have selected a drive and optimization method and any other
options from the Configure menu.
%	!$This dialog lets you pick from among four optimization methods
and one directory convenience option. Press the ^BSpacebar^B to
select the desired method. Select [OK] when done (or press
^BEnter^B). Press ^BEsc^B to cancel.

^BFull Optimization^B offers the best performance gain, but takes
the longest amount of time to run.

  * Moves directories to the front of the disk
  * Unfragments all files
  * Moves all gaps to the end of the disk

  Command-line switch: ^bSD /F^b

^BFull with Directories First^B cleans up directory placement and
arranges for fastest access to directories.

  * Unfragments directories
  * Moves directories to the front of the disk
  * Does not optimize file space

  Command-line switch: ^bSD /FD^b

^BFull with File reorder^B sorts filenames within each directory.

  * Rearranges names for convenient viewing by DIR command

  Command-line switches: ^bSD /SN /SE /SD /SS^b (^b/S^bx^b-^b)

^bNote:^b Sort order is selected in the ^hFile sort^h dialog
      of the Configure menu (^BAlt^B+^BC^B,^BF^B). The default setting
      is "Unsorted," unless you have previously saved a
      preference for this disk via ^hSave Options to Disk^h.
      or if you used ^bSD /S^bx to start the program.

^BUnfragment Files Only^B is very fast to run.

  * Does not optimize directory placement
  * Leaves unfilled gaps around the disk

  Command line switch: ^bSD /U^b

^BUnfragment Free Space^B consolidates gaps into one large gap.

  * Moves files toward the front of the disk
  * Leaves files fragmented
  * Use to prepare an unbroken area before copying a large
    file to your disk

  Command-line switch: ^bSD /Q^b ("Quick compress")
	*When using ^hFull or Directory optimization^h, Speed Disk will
physically move the contents of your directories toward the
front of the disk. This dialog lets you specify the order in
which those directories are placed. For instance, you may wish
to put your most-often-accessed directories at the very front
of the disk.

To build the ^bDirectory Order^b list:
  Use ^B^B and ^B^B to highlight a name in the ^bDirectory List^b (or
  "speed search" by typing part of a directory name). Press
  ^BEnter^B to add the name to the list on the right.

To rearrange the ^bDirectory Order^b list:
  Press ^BTab^B to get to the right side, use ^B^B and ^B^B to
  highlight a name, press ^BSpacebar^B to select it for movement,
  use ^B^B and ^B^B to move the name, and press ^BSpacebar^B again to fix
  it in place. When you're on the right side, the ^b[Add]^b button
  becomes a ^b[Delete]^b button and you can remove names from the
  list.

  With the mouse: double-click in the ^bDirectory List^b to add
  a name to the ^bDirectory Order^b list. Double-click on a name
  in the Directory Order list to select it for movement, then
  hold the left button down and drag up or down to change its
  position in the list (or just click at the new location).

To use your settings:
  The ^b[OK]^b button saves your Directory Order list for use
  when you optimize (^BAlt^B+^BB^B). This list will be remembered the
  next time if you ^hSave Options to Disk^h.
	)This dialog lets you choose a filename sorting order. When
you optimize with the ^hFull Optimization Method^h or with the
File Sort option, all files in all directories are sorted to
this criterion.

^bNote:^b File sorting DOES NOT affect the physical positioning
      of the file's data on the disk. If you want to
      optimize your file positions, see ^hFiles to Place First^h.

To select a ^bSort Criterion^b:
  * Press Spacebar to select a sort criterion.
  * Choose Ascending or Descending for the Sort Order.

                  ^BAscending            Descending^B
  ^BName^B            A-to-Z               Z-to-A

  ^BDate and Time^B   oldest-to-newest     newest-to-oldest
  ^BSize^B            smallest-to-largest  largest-to-smallest

If you ^hSave Options to Disk^h, your sort criterion is remembered
and reused next time you run Speed Disk and select this disk.

^bNote:^b You can chose a sort order from the DOS command line:
      SD ^b/SN^b by Name, A-to-Z      ^b/SN-^b by Name, Z-to-A
      SD ^b/SE^b by Extension, A-to-Z ^b/SE-^b by Extension, Z-to-A
      SD ^b/SD^b oldest-to-newest     ^b/SD-^b newest-to-oldest
      SD ^b/SS^b smallest-to-largest  ^b/SN-^b largest-to-smallest
	When using the ^hFull Optimization Method^h, Speed Disk will
physically move certain files to the front of the disk, so
that they can be accessed most quickly.

Use ^B^B and ^B^B to move the highlight within the scrolling list.
Edit any filename or move to the bottom of the list and add a
file specification (you may use standard wildcards ^B*^B and ^B?^B).

Press ^BTab^B to get to the column of buttons on the right side.
Select ^b[OK]^b to keep your choices. ^BEsc^B at any time cancels any
changes you have made.

The ^b[Move]^b button selects the filename for movement. Use
^B^B and ^B^B to move the file; press ^BTab^B and select ^b[Move]^b
again to fix it in place.

If you later use ^BAlt^B+^BC^B,^BS^B to save your options, this list will
be remembered the next time you run Speed Disk on this disk.
Certain copy-protected programs should not be moved from their
original positions. If you have any such files, be sure to
list them in this dialog so Speed Disk won't move them.

In any case, Speed Disk always leaves these files in their
original locations. Speed Disk will not move: hidden files
(such as the DOS hidden system files), read-only files, nor
any file in a directory which has the read-only attribute. To
see this list of files, pick ^BShow Static Files...^B from the
^BInformation^B menu.

If you ^hSave Options to Disk^h, this list will be remembered the
next time you run Speed Disk on this disk.
This dialog lets you select safety and security options.

You may choose more than one option. Use ^B^B and ^B^B to move the
cursor. Press ^BSpacebar^B or ^B x ^B to enable or disable an option.
Select [OK] when you are satisfied with your choices.

^BRead-after-Write^B verification is the safest technique,
  but takes longer to complete.

^BClear unused space^B option is for security. No one will be able
  to glean any old data from the wiped space.

^BBeep when done^B is the default. Uncheck this for quiet rooms.

If you ^hSave Options to Disk^h, these choices
will be remembered the next time you run Speed Disk.
		



This menu item immediately saves the current set of Speed Disk
options to a disk file. After using this, each time you start
Speed Disk and ^Beach time you select a different disk^B, these
options will be put into effect.

The following settings are saved:

  ^hoptimization method^h      ^BAlt^B+^BO^B,^BO^B
  ^hphysical directory order^h ^BAlt^B+^BC^B,^BD^B
  ^hfile sort criterion^h      ^BAlt^B+^BC^B,^BF^B

  ^hverification method^h      ^BAlt^B+^BC^B,^BO^B
  ^hempty space wiping^h       ^BAlt^B+^BC^B,^BO^B

The options are stored in the file, SD.INI. If this file is
missing, then standard, safe defaults are used.
This screen lists some interesting statistics about the
currently selected disk. Press ^BEnter^B when you are finished
looking at it.
This screen identifies all of the characters that may appear
on the disk map. Press ^BEnter^B when you are finished looking at
it.
This shows a list of all files on the disk that have been
tagged as "Hidden" or "System" or both. Use ^B^B and ^B^B to scroll
the list. Press ^BEnter^B when you are finished looking at it.
	
This menu option lets you move the cursor around the disk map
to see which files occupy parts of the disk. Use ^B^B ^B^B ^B^C1b^B ^B^C1a^B to
move the cursor. Watch the cluster numbers displayed in the
lower, left-hand corner.

Press ^BEnter^B when you've reached a part of the disk that seems
interesting. This brings up the ^bContents of Map Block^b dialog,
which shows the clusters represented by the map block and the
file(s) which occupy those clusters.

The dialog box shows all the clusters represented by one
character of the disk map. If needed, you can scroll the
list by using ^B^B and ^B^B. See the Legend in the lower, right-
hand corner of the screen for the block-to-cluster ratio.
This ratio varies, depending upon the size of the disk and
the screen resolution.

Under ^bFile^b is the name of the file or directory that
currently occupies the cluster (or the words "Not Used").

Under ^bStatus^b, you may see:

 ^BOptimized^B   Belongs to an unfragmented file or directory
 ^BFragmented^B  Belongs to a fragmented file or directory
 ^BUnmovable^B   Belongs to a hidden or read-only file, or a file
             in a hidden directory, or one that you have
             listed as ^hunmovable^h.
 ^BBad cluster^B Marked in the FAT as being unusable (these are
             never examined or moved by Speed Disk)

Press ^BEnter^B to get back to the map walk, then press ^BEsc^B when
you've finished your stroll.

With a mouse, click on any block of interest. Select [OK] when
it's time to scamper on.

^bTip:^b You may wish to make a record of files which are near
     bad clusters; these may be dangerous places. You can use
     Disk Tools to mark any arbitrary cluster as bad (thus
     surrounding a known bad area with a safety zone).
This dialog box lets you browse through a scrollable list of
the files on the disk.

Use ^B^B and ^B^B to pick a directory from the tree on the left (or
type part of a directory name to "speed search" to it). Press
^BTab^B to get to the file list side and use ^B^B and ^B^B to scroll the
list.

The list shows each file in the selected directory, reporting
on its percentage of fragmentation, number of fragments, and
total clusters occupied by the file.

Fragmented files are tagged with a bullet (^b^C07^b) and fragmented
directories are further highlighted with a colored bar (a
fragmented directory causes a major performance penalty).

Press ^BEnter^B when you are finished browsing the fragmentation
report.
Select Exit when you are finished using Speed Disk.

^BNote:^B If you want to save any of the configuration
      options you have set for the current disk, be sure to
      select ^hSave Options to Disk^h from the Configure menu
      before exiting.
	
	After analyzing the currently selected drive, Speed Disk
displays the recommended optimization method. If no
optimization is necessary, Speed Disk indicates so.

Select [Optimize] to immediately start optimizing with the
suggested method. Or, press ^bSpacebar^b to select a different
^hOptimization Method^h.

Alternatively, select ^b[Cancel]^b so you can access the
Speedisk menus. The ^hConfigure^h menu lets you pick such options as
sorting your directories and files, putting certain files early
in a directory, and selecting a faster (but less trustworthy)
verification method. Later, use ^BAlt^B+^BB^B to begin optimizing.
The ^hInformation^h menu lets you find out about your disk.
!	"
DOS writes files to disk in physical units called clusters. A
cluster usually contains from 2 to 32 kilobytes (512 bytes
for floppies) depending on the operating system version and
disk size.

When you first create and save a file, DOS often, but not always,
finds enough contiguous unused clusters to write the complete
file. But as you add to the file and save it repeatedly, the next
contiguous clusters might be occupied by other files created in
the meantime. In that case, DOS must split the original file
across noncontiguous unused clusters. Thus, a file becomes
fragmented.

Over time, as file fragmentation increases, read-write head
movement increases, and it takes longer to read and write data
from the disk.

Speed Disk reorganizes the physical layout of all files and
directories on a disk so as to minimize movement of the
read-write head of the disk drive. This allows your computer to
read data from the disk much faster.

Speed Disk does two things:

  * It consolidates all of the unused data space on your disk
    and places it at the end of the disk (farthest from the
    read-write head).
  * It defragments your files by consolidating the pieces that
    make up the files.

When started, Speed Disk analyzes your disk and recommends an
optimization method to maximize system performance. You can also
specify a particular ^hoptimization method^h as well as dictate a
particular ^hfile order^h.
This dialog box appears after Speed Disk completes a run. Select
your desired option.

^B[Another Drive]^B
   Optimize another disk drive.

^B[Configure]^B
  Remain in Speed Disk and access its menus.

^B[Exit Speed Disk]^B
  You're done too.
^BCaution:^B Don't turn off or otherwise disable your machine while
Speed Disk is running. You can safely interrupt the operation
of Speed Disk before it has finished by pressing ^BEsc^B.

^BTo optimize a disk:^B
  1 Select the drive you wish to optimize.
  2 Select [Optimize] to accept the recommended optimization
    method. Speed Disk "animates" the disk map as it works.
    Or,
    * Select another optimization method.
    Or,
    * Select [Cancel] if you want to access the Speedisk
      menus or back out entirely.

Because Speed Disk is reordering the physical organization of
your disk, you don't want anything to disturb the procedure
before it is completed.

  * Make sure you don't have any memory-resident programs active
    that might access the disk while Speed Disk is running.
  * Disable any scheduling TSRs. They wait to be activated so
    that data (their own data files or temp files, for example)
    can be written at any given time. Disk caches also wait to
    write in the background.

^BNote:^B You don't have to worry about any Peter Norton programs,
      they are all managed automatically by Speed Disk.
You fine-tune the way Speed Disk optimizes your disk by using
both the Optimize and Configure menus.

^BTo choose a specific optimization method:^B
  1 Select [Cancel] from the Speed Disk Recommendation
    dialog box.
  2 Choose Optimization Method from the Optimize menu.
  3 Select one of the five optimization methods.
  4 Choose Begin Optimization from the Optimize menu.

^BTo add a directory to the Directory Order list:^B
  1 Choose Directory Order from the Configure menu.
  2 Make sure that the Directory List is selected and then
    highlight the directory to add to the Directory Order.
  3 Select [Add]. The added directory appears immediately
    above the most-recently selected directory.
