re dos in article aa mosque cs huji ac il dny cs huji ac il danny halamish writes well i ve installed dos in three different systems with and without stacker a friend installed it in two other systems both with stacker not a single problem except perhaps some minor bugs with config sys menus he s right ya know i ve helped to install dos on about computers now mine included on one he bought the stacker to doublespace converter and it worked fine rather he sent in the coupon for the converter in other cases i ve run the doublespace installation without a problem when compressing a new drive compressing free space or whatever else seems to work for me ofcourse we did not repeat not run any program called install or setup or a very sophisticated ai auto configuring setup installation program that will think for you and do what you never wanted to do but couldn t stop it from doing well i ran the normal setup thing and it worked fine for whatever that s worth also dblspace is crap it writes about slower than stacker reads about slower and compresses about less all tests were made on the same computer with the same disk no cache and the same big files were used couldn t agree more on my i don t miss the speed it s still faster than a normal disk read would be as for the less compression i ve sacrificed that in favor of the convenience of having the dblspace bin load before anything else with stacker any changes to your config sys or autoexec bat meant rebooting twice so it could update those personally i m waiting for stacker to come out and implement those hooks and stuff plus the defrag that comes with dos is okay but i much prefer compress from pc tools for sheer bells and whistles plus defrag is sooooo sloooow on a dblspace drive but dos is quite good reformat disks i honestly don t understand why you had to do this ditto koberg
