- The ADExpand Utility that you received with AutoDoubler will decompress your
- files directly. You can decompress things file-by-file, or by folders; I think
- under system 7 you can specify that the entire disk be decompressed in one
- shot. I was pretty sure that you could do this with Aladdin's product also,
- but maybe not...
