How to Pack a Disk
By purging files from the disk and adding other files, you may end up with
blank areas on the disk (between files) that are too small for the new files
you are creating. On LIF disks, the Pack Disk operation packs the current
files together, removing unused areas from between the files so that more
space is available for files at the end of the disk. On DOS disks, the Pack Disk
operation is not displayed.
To pack the disk, perform the following steps:
