I don't think this is true for the latest version of compression agent for W95. Some of the earlier compression programs for DOS/W3.1 did have bad reputations (and the most stable of them - Superstor - went out of business, I think because it compressed a bit less than the others). Anyone worried about system problems can do what I do - use compression to create a compressed virtual disk, then leave critical system files on the uncompressed disk. On my 701 w/340 megs, I had 100 megs for system stuff, the rest of the disk was doubled and held Office '95, Lotus Smartsuite, a fairly complete TeX system, 2 large statistics packages, and the usual miscelleny of crap that one accumulates on a laptop. Even with the best organization skills this wouldn't have been possible without compression. - David
