- Currently I am using Stacker on an 8088 and it is not to bad.
- Of course I refuse to use such high disk swapping programs like

- The are a few shareware programs that do this also.
- slim110a.zip lets you use compressed files, looks decent, but I didn't

- is that it takes about 73K of mem compaired to ~42K with Stacker.
- Its on grind.isca.uiowa.edu if you want to try it. I think
- there might be others though. Telenet there and use ISCABBS for
- the login name and it will drop you in a file system (with
- file description :-) )
