I'm relatively new to PC's, and have a general question about data
compression:
I have a 701C running PC-DOS 6.22/Win 3/1, and I've almost filled the
small (340mg) HD. SuperStor/DS is on the drive, but not yet
installed. I can pick up a copy of Stacker 3.1 for next to nothing at
a local store. What are the functional differences between Stacker
and SuperStor/DS, especially regarding processor overhead and
slowdown? I know that the degree of slowdown varies, but in general
percentage terms, how much of a performance hit should I expect (I use
the machine primarily for WP, spreadsheets, communications and some
minor retouching and viewing of graphics)? Finally, does anyone have
any advice or recommendations regarding install and use of these apps?
Thanks in advance....
