PC Mag had a review of a number of such packages recently and came out in
favour of Stacker with Superstor a close second. Either would suit your
needs, especially if you have a 386 so that the performance hit in
compression/decompression is low and you can load the drivers in the UMB
to avoid taking up precious low memory (if that is a concern to you).
I use Stacker on one of my drives and even in Windows I hardly notice
the overhead (this is on a 386/40).
