Once again, in trying to beat the system and get more than I paid for, I have come across the XtraDrive 3.0 disk compression software. I have read many threads on this forum about Stacker and DoubleSpace, but I have not seen anything about this XtraDrive software. So… is anyone using it, and does it create any problems in 3DSR3 and ACAD R12? It seems to have an advantage in the ability to uncompress individual files or the whole disk. I would hate to cause myself problems, but an extra 400meg would be really nice. I would welcome any comments. Thanks for all the help on an everyday basis from this lurker. James L.

James, Your probably gonna hear all sides of this…but let me put my 2 cents worth in….Buy a Bigger hard Drive…Their Cheaper than spending hours trying to reconfigure and sometimes RECOVER your computer data. I've had clients use stacker successfully but then again I've had to go over and spend hours recovering lost information from them too. It's all Billable time as far as I'm concerned but my suggestion is to take a hard look at the dropping prices on 1.2GIG Drives. <g> James M. Murphy James Murphy Consulting Green Bay Wisconsin..U.S.A.
