I haven't installed it (they sent me the wrong size disk, and then
when I returned it they sent me the disk, but kept my manual), but
I believe that they do tell the finder how much extra space they
believe exists, and keep a temporary file around to fake things somehow.

: Also, since it is transparent, can I use AutoDoubler on top of timestwo?
: what will happen ?
Everything will operate twice as slow, since TimesTwo will be trying
(but failing) to compress the AD files.  No point to it.

: My disk is currently compressed wiht AutoDoubler v1.  Can I still intall
: timestwo ?
You'll want to uncompress all AD files before installing TimesTwo.
Where you'll put them I don't know - that's the other reason I haven't
moved to TimesTwo yet.

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
