- August 10, 1992
- Proportional Software Corporation today announced the DCF/2
- Disk Compression Facility for IBM's'@ OS/2@ Version 2.0.
- In response to the needs of IBM OS/2 users, Proportional
- Software has introduced the first dynamic disk compression
- technology for OS/2 Version 2.0. The DCF/2, or Disk
- Compression Facility/2 allows users to increase their local
- physical disk storage without affecting applications software
- or system behaviour.
- On-the-fly disk compression using the DCF/2 results in 35%
- to 70% additional disk space, depending on the types of
- information on the disk and the level of compression selected.
- The Proportional Software DCF/2 uses native OS/2 file
- structures to compress standard file information into less
- physical space -- resulting in making a hard disk appear
- bigger than it really is!
- According to Fred Schmidt, Sales Vice President at
- Proportional, the typical OS/2 user requires over 50 MB of
- physical disk space for the OS/2 operating system, it's
- swapfile, and basic utilities. Even though OS/2 includes both
- a complete DOS and Windows environment, this still means that
- there is a real crunch for space when a user upgrades from a
- DOS or Windows environment. The DCF/2 offers a quick, easy,
- and simple solution to this problem.
- Proportional Software is introducing the DCF/2 at $99.95
- through December 31, 1992. The U. S. list price is $129.95.
- We have a special price of $64.98 (50% of list for IBM
- employees(for personal use, only) if they fax the order with a
- copy of their IBM badge.
- Contact Herb Smith at 1-800-666-4672 or by
- FAX at 1-800-955-4672, for further information.
- Also, please mention my name when you call, thank you.
