- This is true, but this is because these formats already use compression.
- I don't need 2x compression, just something more than what I have now.
- 1.5 compression would be just fine.

- I have Stacker installed on my PC right now and it gives me 2:1
- compression. It is not a lie.

- Actually the original complaint was about how one should use Imploder to
- gain significant disk space, then that person decided to take a jab at
- Stacker for some reason. The point is that Imploder frees up
- significant amounts of disk space ONLY if you have a hard drive filled
- with PROGRAM files. I don't have a disk full of programs; do you?
