SUMMARY
According to Gazelle Systems Technical Support, if you are using Gazelle Systems' OPTune disk utility with MS-DOS version 5.0 or later, you must use OPTune version 1.35. If you are using OPTune with MS-DOS 6 or later and DoubleSpace or DriveSpace, you must upgrade to OPTune version 1.41 or later (released 4/30/93).

WARNING: According to Gazelle Systems, you risk serious data loss if you use a version of OPTune earlier than 1.41 with DoubleSpace or DriveSpace.



MORE INFORMATION
OPTune, a software utility manufactured by Gazelle Systems, provides disk defragmentation and optimization. In addition, OPTune can mark out bad sectors on a disk and contains various commands that are similar to the MS- DOS CHKDSK program. OPTune can also change the interleaving on a disk without destroying information on the disk.

Gazelle recommends that any disk-caching programs be disabled before running the OPTune disk utility.

The following versions of OPTune are recommended with MS-DOS:   MS-DOS Version            OPTune Version --           --   3.30 or earlier           1.1 4.0 and 4.01             1.2 5.0                      1.35   6.0, 6.2, 6.21, 6.22      1.41 For more information, call Gazelle Systems Technical Support.
