        My guess is that it works but not the way it may
        not seem to work.  In that it does no space
        checking however when it moves the files the
        OS itself refuses the move and thus errors to
        allfix.  Gotta have the OS allow the move before
        allfix does but then again i guess that's the reason
        for the option.  I never used the nospace myself.
        But my guess is if you try to move a 1.2 meg
        file to a drive with only 300k left of space
        even with allfix doing the no check thing the OS
        will likely refuse it...I'd hope..

        But then again is the above with such a case or
        is there plenty of space? :)
