Hello everyone,

I'm new to this group, but I've been reading a lot to catch up with the latest.

Anyway, I was particularly interested in some of the problems that people have
been having with Autodoubler and I thought maybe I can help.


As far as I know, Autodoubler is just an init. It doesn't patch your System Fil
e (unlike MDS). If you turn Autodoubler off, all your compressed documents, etc
. become autodoubler documents and you need DDExpand to uncompress them. Once,
uncompressed they should regain their original icon and stuff.


I have SpeedDisk 2.0 and I never use it. I also use DiskExpress II 2.11 because
 it is much safer. I've read industry insiders personally vouch for the safety
of DiskExpress II. However, I will admit that I don't trust the automatic optim
ization option with Autodoubler running. I have never had any conflicts between
 DiskExpress II and Autodoubler.

Autodoubler and Resedit - I use Resedit a lot to hack into files and to change
file attributes with no problems. I think when Resedit opens a file, AD is supp
osed to uncompress it before giving to ResEdit. So I don't see why anyone can't
 change file type and creator with ResEdit. I've changed file type and creator
with Autodoubler running and using DiskTop with no problems either.

Hope this helps. I've been running Autodoubler 1.07 for a while now with no pro
blems. Canvas load a bit slower, but it's still acceptable. I had MDS once and
it was horrible. Crashed my hard disk twice and wouldn't deinstall itself. I ha
d to reinstall the system.
