Proportional Software Corporation today announced the DCF/2
Disk Compression Facility for IBM's'@ OS/2@ Version 2.0.
  In response to the needs of IBM OS/2 users, Proportional
Software has introduced the first dynamic disk compression
technology for OS/2 Version 2.0. The DCF/2, or Disk
Compression Facility/2 allows users to increase their local
physical disk storage without affecting applications software
or system behaviour.
  On-the-fly disk compression using the DCF/2 results in 35%
to 70% additional disk space, depending on the types of
information on the disk and the level of compression selected.
The Proportional Software DCF/2 uses native OS/2 file
structures to compress standard file information into less
physical space -- resulting in making a hard disk appear
bigger than it really is!
  According to Fred Schmidt, Sales Vice President at
Proportional, the typical OS/2 user requires over 50 MB of
physical disk space for the OS/2 operating system, it's
swapfile, and basic utilities. Even though OS/2 includes both
a complete DOS and Windows environment, this still means that
there is a real crunch for space when a user upgrades from a
DOS or Windows environment. The DCF/2 offers a quick, easy,
and simple solution to this problem.
  Proportional Software is introducing the DCF/2 at $99.95
through December 31, 1992. The U. S. list price is $129.95.
We have a special price of $64.98 (50% of list for IBM
employees(for personal use, only) if they fax the order with a
copy of their IBM badge.
  Contact Herb Smith at 1-800-666-4672 or by
FAX at 1-800-955-4672, for further information.
  Also, please mention my name when you call,  thank you.
                Robert Eidswick.
