True enough, but since...

1. "True" compaction of an EndNote file changes the record numbers, rendering
   the library useless in updating papers referenced with the old library,

and

2. AutoDoubler-compressed files are, technically, expanded by the DiskDoubler
   application, but the process is transparent, and to the user appears as if
   the library has been opened by the EndNote application when
double-clicked,

the disadvantages of using AutoDoubler seem academic & theoretical, while the
advantages seem practical & real.
