- From observing Stacker at the MacWorld expo, installation of their
- program could be accomplished on a non-empty hard drive or cartridge. You
- double-clicked on their application, chose a drive, say go, wait
- a bit, and presto, a STACed disk. It seemed like a pretty simple,
- but magical operation to me.

- Unfortunately, I missed the Alysis booth...err...actually walked right
- by it, not realizing they too were selling a driver-level compression program.
