- That's a great idea! Another thing I would like is to be able to set a
- miimum compression standard. That is to say, AD compresses a 2Meg files
- and saves a total of 3 bytes. Aaargh! What I want to do is say "only
- compress is 20% saved or 100K" otherwise AD marks the file with the
- "!Compress" label and leaves it alone. Sometimes AD will actually make
- a ZIP or ZOO file GROW by compressing it... would be nice to have an
- option to control that.
-
- Other than that, AD is a great piece of software, and it integrates
- wonderfully with Disk Doubler. Best $29 I ever spent!
