- Okay.. I have heard something about Stacker for Os/2 being out. Is this just
- a rumor, or is it actually available?? If it isn't available, is there any
- 'disk doubling' software that IS currently available?? Thanks.

- DCF/2 from Proportional Software is out and shipping... $150
- officially. It's supposedly pretty cool (I spent a little time
- talking to one of the developers on their 1-800 number :) with some PM
- interface and allowances for designing your own encoding/compression
- scheme... there's an interface. Sort of like installable file
- systems, but I thjink they're saying it's easier to write for. That's
- why they're so late, because IBM "requested" (his word) that they get
- a prettier interface on it...

- 1-800-666-4OS2. These guys are floundering in their newfound mass
- market, so give them time, but real people sometimes answer their
- phone, so I like them... :)
