8.7   Pack Files
      ==========

      This little utility lets you pack all datafiles in CMS. This means that
      all previously deleted records will be permanently removed from all
      datafiles.

      IMPORTANT: Packing should be done regularly (weekly or monthly depending
      on your work load). This will keep CMS lean and quick. Packing will
      automatically reindex all files.

      To pack CMS:

      A. Press <P> at the "Utilities" menu and then press <Enter>.

         The "Pack Confirmation" window will appear:

         =============================================================
         | Packing removes all deleted records from all files.       |
         |    Packing may take a substantial amount of time          |
         | depending on the speed of your computer.   Continue? [y/N]|
         =============================================================

         Note: Packing will not affect the information in your datafiles. It
         does not touch them at all.

         If you press <N> no packing will occur and you will be returned to the
         "Utilities" menu.

      B. Press <Y> to begin packing.

         This will remove all deleted records from the datafiles and update
         the index files as well.

      C. When done you will be returned to the "Utilities" menu.
