AutoDoubler is the effortless way to save hard disk space. You just double click to install and AutoDoubler does the rest. It increases your disk space by up to 100% or more by automatically compressing everything on your hard disk, from PowerBook users to Quadra users. AutoDoubler makes the most out of your storage space.
Completely Invisible
AutoDoubler won╒t interrupt your work or slow you down. It compresses only when your system is idle. You specify when you want AutoDoubler to go to work - so AutoDoubler is working when you╒re not!
AutoDoubler offers a number of other ╥invisible╙ benefits, such as improving network performance, speeding up modem transfers, and decreasing backup time.
So fast, you╒ll hardly know it╒s there
AutoDoubler╒s patent-pending technology reads compressed files so quickly, you╒ll hardly even know your files are compressed - just click and open. It even lets you use files and applications while they are still compressed, which makes AutoDoubler the fastest compression product available.
Files compressed with AutoDoubler look and act just like normal files; for example, all of the icons and modification dates remain unchanged. In fact, you╒ll hardly know the files have been compressed - until you notice how much disk space you have.
AutoDoubler is 100% reliable
AutoDoubler╒s safety mechanisms include an exclusive, fault-tolerant compression technology that automatically checks the new version against the original file as it compresses. Even in the event of a power failure, your files and applications are sale. And should you have a disk crash, AutoDoubler╒s recovery utility can in most cases repair damaged compressed files.

On average, double the available space on all disks (except floppies)
Simple one-button installation
Keeps user-specified amount of disk space free
Excludes user-specified files from compression by date, name, label, and size
User-definable ╥Compress Now/Don╒t Compress╙ mouse corner support
100% automatic (no training required)
Compresses in the background without interrupting your work
Optionally keep AutoDoubler active in telecommunications and backup programs
Optionally send e-mail enclosures in compressed form under system 7
Patent-pending technology for extremely fast operation
completely safe even if power fails during compression
Fully compatible with award-winning DiskDoubler
Occupies as little as 140K of RAM
AutoDoubler includes Copydoubler which lets you copy files in about one-third the time (For System 7.x users only!)
Saves you time by copying files 3 to 10 times faster than the Finder
Protects your data by verifying that copied files are identical to the original files (Also checks to make sure your disks are error-free)
Copies compressed files in compressed format (for AutoDoubler users)
Empties trash twice as fast as the finder
The Security Erase feature gives you the option to delete a file so it cannot be recovered. Excellent for highly sensitive information! (Does not implement DoD Guidelines)
AutoDoubler includes the AutoDoubler Internal Compressor which saves you additional disk space by allowing start-up documents (INITs) and control panel devices (cdevs) to be compressed. Applications can also be permanently compressed using the internal compressor.
Separate application - you must manually select files to be compressed. It is not automatic.
Compressed files are completely self-contained (AutoDoubler is not required to be active for the compressed files to work properly.)
DISKDOUBLER
The Original, Hands-On Compression Tool
Get the most out of your disks-safely
With the complexity of today╒s applications and documents, data storage doesn╒t go as far as it used to. You have to maximize what you have.
That╒s where DiskDoubler comes in.
DiskDoubler puts data compression in your hands, allowing you to compress files an average 50% 0 some much more. So, you can fit twice as much data on your hard or floppy disks.
Just point, click, and compress files 50% or more
DiskDoubler is incredibly easy to install and use. Just click a file, folder, or entire disk - then compress or expand.
You use compressed files just like any other file. Simply double click and the file decompresses and opens simultaneously. When you close the file, DiskDoubler quickly recompresses - automatically.
Shared compressed files with others
DiskDoubler is ideal for sending files to other users - even if the recipient doesn╒t have DiskDoubler. Just include the free expansion utility, DDExpand, and any user can open your file. Or, you can make it still easier, by packaging your files into a self-expanding archive (SEA) which will expand on its own without DiskDoubler.
DiskDoubler technology even allows you to expand other compression formats, such as Stufflt 1.5.1 and PackIt archives! So, you get the most flexibility.
Send files safely, securely, and cost effectively
With DiskDoubler, it╒s easy to compress or combine files for faster transmission over a modem or network. You can also split large files for making compressed backups or transferring to floppy disks (then ╥join╙ them later).
In addition to marking your transmissions faster, DiskDoubler can also help ensure their security. An encryption feature allows you to protect your files so they can only be decompressed with the proper password.
Save time, save money
DiskDoubler gives you lots of ways to save both time and money. You save by decreasing the time it takes you to send data over costly modem and network lines. You save the time and expense associated with backup and archiving. And, you save by making your expensive disks to twice as far.
