SuperStor will give you compressed floppies, which Stacker won't. Bzzzzt! wrong answer. Stacker 2.0 will give you compressed floppies, but you need to do a command-line mount of each floppy you insert. I don't know about the SSTOR equivalent. The DR DOS version of SSTOR requires some conventional memory, which Stacker 2.0 and SSTOR 2.0 do not require on a 386. >Which is better? >Any difference in performance (compression ration/speed)? They're functionally not much different. The utilities are somewhat different, and preferences are probably very subjective. BTW, if this gets out into the world, please reply via email, since none of my articles for the past month seem to have made it onto the Internet.
