Stacker--Forget it




        Anyone who had an answer for my Stacker question, thanks for you
time but don't bother the list with it.  I worked it out.

        For any who are interested, it was a funny thing.  I was able to
stick my flash card in my TP 701 and Win '95 recognized it right away and
installed drivers for it.  I was able to "see" the flash card as a drive on
my 701, but was not yet able to mount the stacker volume it contained.

        At any rate, I was able to dig up an old version of Stacker (3.0),
mount it on my 701 (booting to the "old version of MS-DOS" option on Win
'95) and run "sdefrag" on the volume.  This fixed the error.  Apparently (I
don't know how), when I was running the sdefrag while it was on my little
HP 100LX PalmTop, it somehow rebooted and messed up the volume.  From
there, I couldn't get the HP to mount the volume.  I don't know how/why it
was able to do so on my ThinkPad, but it did and then I was able to run
sdefrag on it again to repair it & finish the job.

        Neato!  My TP saved the day...
