- There are no PD or shareware programs that do exactly what Stacker does.
- However, in the commercial market, competition seems to be getting
- fierce, resulting in lots of features and lower prices.
-
- I did evaluate a program called NEWSPACE which is available at
- Simtel-20, but I found it to be unreliable, and my attempts to contact
- the author have failed.
-
- A freeware program called DIET (DIET144.ZIP at Simtel) has the ability
- to intercept file-open calls and compress or decompress files as they
- are read or written. This may suit your needs very well, or it may not.
- It probably will not work with Windows. However, I have found that for
- some uses it works extremely well. You might like it, too. Can't beat
- the price. :)
