I did go back and play with this some more. This version is much more efficient and does not crash, although it does have one shortcoming. It blindly assumes that there's enough free space to move the largest existing file, which isn't necessarily the case. Aesthetically, it doesn't match what I'm envisioning in my mind's eye, but it's still kind of neat to watch for a few minutes. http://javajack.dynalias.net/defrag/defrag014.py (requires pygame for the visuals) Alan _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
