Two short things.
VDD64.zip is a reissue of vddriver for alpha. VDdriver allows you
to treat contiguous files as complete disks. This variant works
with DEC volume shadowing also.

FAVOID is a fragmentation avoider. The kitinstal is approximately
right, sources are OK. 
The fragmentation avoider alters the behavior of IO$_MODIFY on
disks in two ways:
1. Extends are done contiguous best try every Nth time (default N=1)
2. Extend amounts default to 1/Nth (default 1/4) of current file
	size. However, they never are extended above 1/8th of free
	space by this operation, and extend amounts are never
	less than the program requested in any case. This causes
	extends to be done on the whole far less often than
	VMS defaults, speeding writes and fragmenting the disk less.

	This version, for Vax or Alpha, can be loaded anytime.
	Use one unit of jfdriver for each disk. In clusters
	point a jf unit at each disk from each machine. In volume
	sets also point a jf at each disk. In stripesets, just
	point a JF at the stripeset. Same with shadowsets: point
	the JF unit at the shadow driver device, not the underlying
	disks. (Won't hurt anything if you get it wrong, but won't
	help you either.)
