Thank you for beta-testing ReOrg.

The standard optimization code seems to be quite stable - it has not
changed much since V2.33. The most critical parts are all new functions,
like file system conversion.

Here are some functions I would like you to test:

- conversions from OFS to FFS and back in the following situations:
  - two-disk-mode with enough memory to cache the whole partition
    (floppy disk)
  - two-disk-mode with NOT enough memory to cache the whole partition
    (floppy disk, but low-memory situation)
  - one-disk-mode with enough memory to cache the whole partition
    (floppy disk)
  - one-disk-mode with NOT enough memory to cache the whole partition
    (hard disk)

- conversions between any two filesystems from (DOS\0-DOS\5) to
  (DOS\0-DOS\5) on hard disks and floppy disks with the following
  settings ?
  - "FileExt blocks" in all possible settings
  - "Free blocks" in all possible settings
  
- Using ReOrg on public screens. Are there any race conditions if
  multiple programs run on the same screen ?

- Using option files, including the new option "P#"

- Font-sensitivity: Is there any way to make ReOrg behave incorrectly
  for "funny" fonts and/or screen dimensions ? Please check with the
  "graphical sector display" switched on and off !

- Does localization under Kick/WB2.04, Kick2.04/WB2.1 and Kick/WB3.0
  work correctly ?

- Keywords BATCH and HIDDEN. Does ReOrg fall back to "normal" interactive
  operation correctly when an error occurs ?

- New functionality of "Update Disk Date" and "Keep Locks" ? Are there
  any problems on your system if "Keep Locks" is switched on ? Is there
  any way to crash the system by switching "Update Disk Date" off ? (ReOrg
  should refuse disk optimization if it might cause the system to crash.)

- "Clear unused blocks". Does it behave correctly in
  - one-disk-mode with "Format=Off" ?
  - one-disk-mode with "Format=On" ?
  - two-disk-mode with "Format=Off" ?
  - two-disk-mode with "Format=On" ?
  - two-disk-mode with "Format=All tracks" ?

- The value for "Safety Memory" should be obeyed by ReOrg more closely
  now !?

- Online-Help. Does context-sensitive help work correctly ? Does
  online-help work with all versions of AmigaGuide ?
  Does ReOrg always find its help file (and in the correct language),
  even if it is moved to "Help:" etc. ?
  (There is one known problem: All (?) versions of the "AmigaGuide"
  datatype seem to cause an incorrect alignment of the help menu.
  This only happens when MultiView is used, but not for AmigaGuide
  and online-help. Maybe a bug in AmigaGuide.datatype ?)

- Icons on ReOrg-optimized disks should appear faster now. Please check !

- How fast is ReOrg V3.0b compared to V2.33 on your system ?

- Does ReOrg report any unusual errors or warnings on your system,
  e.g. related to "UPDATE" or "PROTSTATUS" ?

- The usual things: Are there any
  - Enforcer hits
  - Mungwall hits
  - Crashes
  on your system ?
  - Does ReOrg lose memory ?


Between May-11-93 and June-14-93 (?) I will not be at home at my usual
address in the USA. I will contact you when I come back.

If you need to contact me at any time before Mid-June (e.g. if you have
found any severe bugs), you can reach me in one of the following ways:

 - record a message on my answering machine in the USA. I usually check
   it remotely once or twice per week: +1-407-381-3233
 - call me directly in Germany (local time: GMT+1, that is EST+6):
   +49-40-5261288.  Ask for "Holger"
 - send a Fax to +49-40-5266708
 - send mail to my address in Germany
      Holger Kruse
      Ulzburger Str. 387-389
      2000 Norderstedt
      Germany

Please do not send Internet- or Bix-Email before June-14. It is most
likely that email will be lost.

Thanks again !

Holger Kruse
