Allocating a contiguous file in Delphi?

Hello all,

is it possible to allocate a contiguous (non-fragmented) file on disk without having to resort to external tools like "contig.exe" ? I'm using Delphi under Windows. I've googled for ages, cannot find any source code examples anywhere ...



Kind regards,
Arthur
