I am using Stacker _2.01_ on a 40MHz 386dx with 2 IDE hard drives and
running 2 network cards on 2 seperate networks as well as a TON of TSR's.
I am using QEMM386 and am able to run Optimize using version 2.01 of
Stacker . . . this was not true for version 2.0. Stacker 3.0 has this
ability and more. It is also supposed to have an Un-Install feature. I
HAVE un-installed version 2.0 using a trick or two, but is IS possible.
Not fun, but possible!
