Leonard, I tried this and ran into a big problem.  Attempting to expand a
Compressed (with spacesaver) item resulted in a file "owned" by
DiskDoubler that was in fact the real file correctly expanded.. Basically
you can't do it!  (at least not with using Labels etc)  I put this to
both Aladdin and FGS tech support and the result was a statement that
"we're looking into making them compatible" or something similar.

As I said I'd REALLY like them to work together!  

My problem WAS with V1.07i of AutoDoubler - I may try it with V2.0i -
anyone else have experience of this??

Cheers,

Ian.
