- AutoDoubler (which is really working well on my PB100) coems with an an
- application to extract files (I don't recall the name). In this program you
- select the file, FOLDER, or DISK you want to extract - so you can extract the
- whole hard disk with a single mouse click.
-
- Another wqay would be to copy your original hard disk to the other hard disk -
- since the other one is not (I assume) auto-doubled, AutoDoubler will uncompress
- all the files when placed on the second hard disk.
