- I tested TimesTwo, and have been running it for about two months on
- my IIsi. During the testing I didn't lose any data on my drive due
- to TimesTwo (user stupidity, yes; driver, no).
-
- My average compression is about 1.5 to 1.6 to 1. That is because
- I have a bunch of Type 1 printer fonts and lots of .sit files
- from the original drive sitting here. TimesTwo will not be able to
- compress those files very much, if at all.

- If you have any other questions, feel free to EMail me.
