	Well, if you don't mind mashing each and every file on your drive
into a single file by using an irreversible compression process with no
"uninstall" feature, PLUS not knowing quite how much space you have left on
your hard drive at any given time, hey, it's fine!  But I wouldn't put it 
on *my* system.  I suppose if you have a tape backup for emergencies, it's 
ok.  It won't save you as much space, but try PKLITE.  It only works on 
some .EXE and .COM files, but it's 100% reversible if something goes wrong.
