- Joe,
- I've not heard of any similar product for the Amiga. However you can reclaim
- some disk space by using a program such as Imploder to manually compress
- programs and libraries; they are uncompressed on the fly when they are loaded.
- This does not help with data and text files but can result in some significant
- disk savings (PowerPacker has some ability with these files, but I am
- unfamiliar with it).
-
- hope this helps,
