- Leonard, I tried this and ran into a big problem. Attempting to expand a
- Compressed (with spacesaver) item resulted in a file "owned" by
- DiskDoubler that was in fact the real file correctly expanded.. Basically
- you can't do it! (at least not with using Labels etc) I put this to
- both Aladdin and FGS tech support and the result was a statement that
- "we're looking into making them compatible" or something similar.
-
- As I said I'd REALLY like them to work together!
-
- My problem WAS with V1.07i of AutoDoubler - I may try it with V2.0i -
- anyone else have experience of this??
-
- Cheers,
-
- Ian.
