- hello Mr Sipples.
- I'd like to have you add a important announcement to the FAQ. this is
- regarding Proportional Software's DCF/2 program. We are going to ship
- the week preceeding COMDEX. thanks. Robert Eidswick
-
- Proportional Software has announced and missed a number of
- shipping dates for our OS/2 2.0 compression utility, the DCF/2.
-
- For those of you who have not heard, Proportional Software
- has introduced the first dynamic disk compression technology
- for OS/2 Version 2.0. The DCF/2, or Disk Compression Facility/2
- allows users to increase their disk storage without affecting
- applications software or system behaviour.
-
- On-the-fly disk compression using the DCF/2 results in 35%
- to 70% additional disk space, depending on the types of
- information on the disk and the level of compression selected.
-
- The Proportional Software DCF/2 uses native OS/2 file
- structures to compress standard file information into less
- physical space -- resulting in making a hard disk appear
- bigger than it really is!
-
- DCF/2 compression compares favourably with the other
- programs, like Stacker(TM), Superstor(TM), and Doubledisk(TM)
- that do similiar disk compression for DOS.
-
- The situation has rightfully distressed those individuals
- who have ordered the product and anxiously await its delivery.
- It has been no less distressing to us at Proportional Software.
-
- We sincerely apologise for the delays and want you to know
- that we are as anxious as our customers are for the product's
- release.
-
- As a small company launching its first product into the mass
- market of the OS/2 world, we want the product [--] software
- and surrounding documentation [--] that we ship to be something
- of which we can be proud and which will meet both our standards
- and those of the OS/2 user. It will ship. . . the week before
- COMDEX (COMDEX dates are Nov. 16-20). We have sent final
- package samples to our IBM coordinator in Boca for her general
- review.
-
- We want to thank everyone who has shown us such tremendous support
- and patience throughout this high pressure time. We promise
- you will not be disappointed with the DCF/2 package you receive.
