-
- DOS reports 78,109,022 bytes used in 2,369 files on my Stacked drive.
- SCHECK reports 47,990,784 bytes used in the STACVOL file.
-
- This yields a compression rate of 1.6:1, though SCHECK reported it as
- 1.9:1.
-
- This disk has Windows and other bloated programs on it, but no ZIP or
- GIF files or other files known to be compressed.
