- Contrary to the Stacker docs, and your message, my copy of SDIR doesn't
- seem to want to report the compression - at ALL. It's just NOT there?!
- All other information seems to be there - is something BROKE?

- SCHECK works as expected...

- I have a normal drive C:, and a stacked drive D:, with Stacker 2.0 in
- C:\STACKER. I'm running MSDOS v4.01, 4DOS v4.0, PC-Kwik Disk Cache,
- X00, and DesqView (sorry - some version numbers escape me). Stacker
- works perfectly, except for SDIR's refusal to report compression rates.
