TITLE :Difference Between the DIR /C and DIR /CH Commands
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system version 6.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary:
The DIR command has two switches that you can use to display
compression ratio information, /C and /CH. /C displays the compression
ratio of a file assuming that it resides on a drive using 8-kilobyte
(K) clusters. /CH uses the cluster size of the host partition. In most
cases, there is no difference between the output of these switches
unless your DoubleSpace host partition uses a cluster size other than
8 kilobytes. For example, if you have a file on a drive using 4K
clusters, the compression ratio displayed generated from DIR /C would
be 1.5; DIR /CH would generate a compression ratio of 2.0.
