	Hello... I tried Stacker 2.0 for a while, and didn't like it, it
made me wake up in the middle of the night wondering if my data was still
there. I refuse to use any software that will not let me get at the data
on the drive using DEBUG or NORTON's file looker. I mean without STACKER
running... Imagine this... the partition table get's whacked, and you have
an important DBASE file on the drive. The FAT got whacked too, but you know
the file is contiguous - how do you get it back if you were running STACKER?
I'd hate to have to hack together something to uncompress that data.
	One important thing... I was using it on two 1:1 interleaved MFM
drives (slow). STACKER improved disk accesses, since my 386-33 could read
one sector and uncompress it (usually 2:1 compression, right?) faster than
it could read two sectors!!! It did make a BIG difference. Almost a 2:1
speed improvement.
	Moral: If you fell safe using STACKER, it's worth it. Me, I worry
too much. All this is a moot point for me, since I'm running UNIX on a 486-33
now. And I like it MUCH better than DOS w/ or w/o Windows.
