Thanks to those who replied to my Q.
I ended up using LPTX700 which does exactly what I need and want.

The relevant portion of your AUTOEXEC.BAT might look like this:

NDD C: /Q
NDD D: /Q
NDD E: /Q
NDD F: /Q
SCHECK C: /F /D
SCHECK D: /F /D

This example assumes that you have two drives and have swapped drive
designations.  So, C: & D: are the Stacked virtual drives, and E: & F:
are the underlying physical drives.

IMO, taking this precaution becomes imperative if you have an unstable
Windows environment that tends to crash often (mine doesn't--it virtually
never crashes).

Yup, same problem here.  If it's not drawn on a US bank, it costs me
$19 to process it.  For an item that costs $23, you don't make much
on that kind of transaction...

	Well, you are not the first one who invented such a 'conversion'.
A friend of mine has 'converted' all his DD 3.5" disks two years ago and
there was no errors while using them. I think it's one of the best things
he devised.
	Hmmm... Maybe in 1993 his disks will turn into REAL JUNK, but he
hasn't any problems now.

P.S. ...they sell a tool to do this??? I'd like to look at those fool who

not to disagree with you, but I spoke with someone at Ariel Design, 
which use the same micronics VL-bus motherboards that will be in the
gateway dx2-66, and they are selling a VESA local bus version of 
the ATI graphics ultra pro, 24-bit color at 640x480, 16-bit at
1024x768, and 8-bit at 1280x1024.  they claim a 4x increase over
the graphics ultra, and the upgrade price, with a machine, is $500.
This looks great, but they only have limited quantities available, and
their prices are high because they use really nice name-brand 
components in their machines.

I'm confused.  Maybe that only applies to the current release.  I bought
a used copy of Turbo C++ 1.0 which includes debugger, profiles, and
assembler, and I think it has optimization in the compiler.  I know
it's "Turbo," not "Borland," because I have to change "bcc" to "tcc"

	The small problem I have got with the EMM386.EXE is that it always

	is just dead, all with the exception of within WIN3.1.

	Is that suppose to happen? Hardware problem?

	Anyone else experienced this?

	Also in WIN3.1, unstable system occurs very frequently. I have also 
	no idea what's going on. Manual did not have anything on it. But 
	that is another problem to be dealt with later...

	I appreciate any help given.


	In my config.sys, I have got the typical settings...

Help!..my old NEC Multisync [it's a really old one...or rather, not a

like there is a screensaver enabled, but there isn't.  In order to get
my screen back I have to shut the monitor off [the power switch in the
rear] and turn it back on.  Sometimes I have to do it a few times.

I *know* it is the monitor, because I hooked up another monitor to my
system, and it did not do the same thing.

What is wrong with my monitor??...and more importantly...can it be
fixed???

Yes, you are confused.  Note the use of the phrase "stand-alone"
above.  He's not talking about debugging from inside the IDE.  Also,
Turbo C++ does indeed have SOME optimization -- BCC++ has a lot more.

Right.  Turbo C++ Professional is what was replaced by Borland C++

No, Stacker WILL compress your floppies, but you need Stacker to use them.
I believe SuperStor creates compressed floppies that others (who don't
have SuperStor) can read, however.
