	I use DIET as a tsr on both my desktop and my laptop, and have found
it to be one of the most beneficial programs I own. I've tried both Stacker
and the compression routines bundled with DR-DOS, and while they provide
more space than does diet (coupled with pklite - which I use for my
non-overlaid exe files), they both seem FAR more subject to problems than
diet.

	Try it - not only will you like it, but it's EASILY reversible
(typing diet -r *.* will restore all files in a directory) in the event an
individual program is "unhappy" with the packed file.

	Hope it helps.
