- You might try Squash (by Agog, sold thru NeXTConnection). Its not
- exactly the same as Stacker or Superstor, but helps conserve space.
- You can set it to automatically compress files that have been
- inactive for more than a given length of time (and to do this at a
- time when you're not working, so it doesn't slow you down). The
- resulting squashed files can still be launched by double-clicking:
- Squash will uncompress them and pass them on to the relevant app.
-
- You can also use it to archive large bundles of files to multiple
- floppies. And if you compress folders rather than single files, cvan
- extract single files you need without uncompressing the whole folder.
-
- There's a demo version, I believe, on Sonata (probably in
- 2.0-release/demos)
-
- No connection to them; just a happy customer.
