Hi.
I use disk doubler pretty often, but haven't any experience with AutoDoubler.
Disk doubler has a program, and an init.
On start-up the init causes a new menu to be made on the screen called "DD".

You can select a file or folder, go to the DD menu and select compress, or expand.

The program can be launched as-per-usual by double-clicking it. 
Then you select compress or expand, and search for the file or folder you want to
do it to.
If you click on a compressed file, the program automatically expands it and 
(if you want) will launch the program which uses the file.

That's how I use it, it works quite well. I've never had any problems.
(Note: I'm still on System 6).
