The compression algorithm works fine with one major exception--it can't be used on the disk that contains a Windows swapfile. To overcome this shortfall, I currently "compress" only the 'D:' partition of my drive and leave critical files such as DOS/other utilities and my swapfile on the 'C:' drive. I currently store and run Borland C++, Paradox, Quattro, and a host of other programs from the "compressed" drive--which is currently compressed at a 1.8:1 ratio.
