IIIIIIIIII
The DCF/2:
IIIIIIIIII
The DCF/2 is an "on-the-fly" data compression
facility which allows you to increase the effective
data storage capacity of your OS/2 computer system.
Using the DCF/2, you can expand your available hard
disk space - an average of 2.5:1 for typical user
file mixes.
If you have used traditional "on-the-fly" data
compression products -- get ready! The DCF/2 is
unlike anything you've used before. You don't need
to commit yourself or your entire system to data
compression in order to try it.
DCF/2 "Virtual Disk Units", or VDUs, are High
Performance File System (HPFS) formatted compressed
storage devices which are actually stored on your
existing disks. Any OS/2 disk can be used,
including FAT, HPFS, Floppies, and even LAN drives!
For example, if your system is FAT-only, you can
still enjoy the benefits of the HPFS file system
without changing anything!
You can create DCF/2 VDUs even when you are almost
out of physical disk space. VDUs use physical disk
space dynamically, growing as you move your
uncompressed files into the compressed volumes.
For example, a fully formatted 512MB DCF/2 VDU
initially requires only about 256KB of physical
space!
The DCF/2's installation program is easy to use and
takes only a couple of minutes.
You do not have to commit your system to this new
capability. You select what programs, files, and
system information you wish to compress. OS/2 has
all of the tools to make this process easy and
totally transparent!
IIIIIIIIII
DeskMan/2:
IIIIIIIIII
DeskMan/2 is the premier solution to managing and securing
your OS/2 desktop. Unmatched in the power it offers you,
with DeskMan/2 you can control multiple desktops, manage and
secure the OS/2 Workplace Shell, and protect your customized
Desktop layout!
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Partition Magic:
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Partition Magic is the one and only utility that lets you
interactively shrink or expand your existing hard disk partitions,
convert FAT partitions to HPFS, move your hard disk partitions,
and view all partitions on any drive in one window!
