We've got several programmers all using the same machine to assemble some large
programs so the disk free space fragments quite a bit over time. I did make
them start using procedure files to assemble their programs with the listing
file going to the ram disk and then copied back to the hard disk when finished.
This speeded up assemblies by almost two times and should help reduce
fragmented listing files (which are kinda big). Eventually we start getting 217
errors "segment list full" and it is then time to clean things up.

I can't automate the backup, logical format, restore process because I'm
chicken and the backup won't fit on one tape anyway.
