- I think that was exactly his point! I have yet to see ANY program cut an
- Anim or Picture in HALF!! Stacker comes no where near "Doubling your
- hard disk!" It's a flat out lie! if you store NOTHING but WordPerfect
- text files and un-run-length-encoded pictures then maybe Stacker can
- double your disk space... but then, Is that all YOU have on YOUR hard disk?
-
- I use Power Packer, and there is a place on the earth for Stacker, but it
- DOES NOT double your disk space and that was the original complaint about it.
