I would like to use the Superstor copy I get with my new portable on
my desktop computer.  Before that, I want to be sure it is reliable.
Since I develop programs on the desktop, obviously, from time to time
the system crashes.  This happens with Word for Windows too and in
other circunstances.  I mean, this is normal (who can develop a program
with DOS and C/C++ and never get any crash anyway?).

My question is: if my program is writing on disk at that time (I want
to develop a textual database which will read/write at random places) 
and am likely to put some vital files on the compressed disk), at that
time when PC fails, can I/will I likely lose the disk?

Superstor and Stacker will probably do the same.  Are they safe 
for developping on a compressed disk?
