Publisher's Synopsis
When PC users run out of storage space, they usually have to go out and buy a new hard disk, or buy some time by deleting files. Now, with Stacker, they can increase the volume of their existing hard disks in a substantial way by compressing programmes and data on the fly, with no effort whatsoever. Stacker works behind the scenes, expanding data when it's needed and crunching it automatically when it's sent back to disk. It's 100% compatible with virtually every type of software, from business and graphics programs to undelete utilities and low-level formatters.;With this guide, readers can turn a single hard disk into two - that is, they can give themselves twice as much storage space by taking full advantage of Stacker's compression/decompression features. Focusing on the most efficient ways to integrate the programme into DOS system, Gookin demonstrates how to install and configure Stacker, how to manage and maintain a stacked drive, how to handle common problems - even how to use Stacker on Bernoulli, RAM, floppy, and other non-hard drives.
