I have had autodoubler on a variety of Macs in our office including Plus,
Se and LC.  I have had no problems or conflicts.  There are two
disadvantages.  First, the pluses are somewhat slow in decompressing files
on the fly.  The alternative for me however is to mount them on a file
server through a Gatorbox.  This gives slow a new meaning.

Second, When I boot from the Norton Speed Disk floppy, all of the
applications appear as documents.  This somewhat reduces the efficency
of speed disk which tries to put all applications before documents
withthe thought in mind that apps. don't change in size as often as
documents and fragmentation will be reduced.  Now it mixes apps together
with docs.  Not a killer.

I have had no problems with Disk Doctor analyzing the disk whether the
AD is installed or not..

The latest rev of AD is 1.07i.  The updater is avail at FTP sites.
Symantec has not notified me of its avail. Even though I registered.
Lucky for me I pay attention to these newsgroups.
