	We are considering getting a Disk Compression program for our VAX-780,
running VMS. Since there are a lot out there, I thought I'd ask if there is
any experience that would help in my choice. I have also asked the CompuServe
users, and will forward any results I get.
	1) In general, does it seem that Disk Compression realy is worth while,
or is it just nice to have a de-fragmented disk?
	2) Does anyone have BAD or GOOD, under Power fail, etc. type problems,
reports on the various Disk COmpression programs.
