Stacker/Hyperdisk worked great for me for a long time. The trick is to stack the drive that the compressed "drive's" files is on, and not the compressed "drive". Thus, on hard disk C: I had a file, C:\STACKVOL.000 that appeared as drive D: once stacker was loaded. You should NOT tell Hyperdisk to cache "D:", just C:. Never did it with SSWAP... -- Custom will often blind one to the good as well as to the evil effects of any long established system. -- Bishop Richard Whately
