In OS 9, I still use "Mac OS Purge" to this day. It's real old though and probably hard to find as a result. I'm not sure that it specifically is meant for defragmenting memory, but here is part of the readme file... "MAC OS PURGE purges the System Software memory. In other words, it gets rid of useless old junk from the System memory." In any event, it does free up some lost memory, and I run it more out of habit than anything. It's from the days where 8 megs of RAM was typical, and 16 megs meant you were special. A little outdated perhaps? heh heh Yet as I write this, I realize, how, a good old fashioned restart is so underrated. It's an elixir of sorts. -Howie -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
