While disk compression software is always a matter of taste to a certain
extent, and I'm sure the poster is acting in good faith, several of my
friends up here in the Big Village experienced disasterous disk crashes
DURING the install of TimesTwo. In 2 out of 6 cases, the users had to
reformat their hard drives in order to recover, while all experienced
serious data loss. Caveat Installer.
