Stacker performs its compression only on each cluster at a time, so if
you choose 4K clusters, then Stacker can only look at 4K of data at a
time, rather than 8K, so data compression will not be as good.

Don't worry about slack space.  Stacker reuses slack space very well,
and this actually accounts for much of the compression that Stacker
reports.  Any utilities that report a percentage of unused slack space
on your Stacker drive are simply unaware that Stacker is reusing this
space for other data.

Smaller clusters also mean that DOS will have to manage more allocation
units, but this is only an advantage if you are trying to fill a hard
disk with files and most of them are less than 4K in size.

Rbase 4.0 is ANSI SQL and has always been highly rated.  Great performance
and an excellent development and debugging environment.  Version 4.0 is designe
d for 386 machines and won't run on anything less.

The previous version Rbase 3.1c, has been updated to 3.1d.  Both 3.1 and 4.0
are being sold with the major difference being 4.0 is 32-bit.

You can change some of this with the Location of Files in Setup (SH-F1),
and there are some command line switches as well (/U? /D?) that I do not
remember at the moment.

An alternative, if you are making it ReadOnly for protection, is to merely
flag the files Read Only with attrib.exe, attr.com, or a similar utility.
That way the directory itself could still be used for temporary and/or
backup files.

The files that WP wants to write _include_ (but may not be limited to)
document backup files, user .SET files, user dictionaries, and macros and
template files.  Most of these can be adjusted with Setup/Location of Files.

I stack a significant number of floppies.  While I have not done any actual
timings, my gut reaction is that the ones I stack at 4k clusters are much
slower then the default 8k.  In fact, after loading the stacker, I don't
notice any significant difference in access at 8k and unstacked diskettes. 
I assume the same would be true for stacked hard drives.  (I have stopped
stacking floppies at 4k clusters, since the actual increase in storage
space seems to be very minimal.  It might be better over larger hard
disks.)

It seems to me, that uuencoded binaries would be ideal candidates for

I had this happen to me once when installing Stacker on my supervising
professor's comp.  What happened was I didn't have "disk 2" in the drive
when stacker attempted to run it's version of norton speedisk, so the system
halted to dos before finishing, and when I rebooted, I got that "stacker
volume too fragmented" B.S.

The good news is, I got all the data back and my professor was none the wiser
that I almost destroyed his monte-carlo simulation data.

The bad news... wow, there is no bad news.  Read On, and don't reformat!

What worked for me was to take all references to stacker out of config.sys,
reboot, then put speedisk on the uncompressed area of the hard drive (luckily
there was room).  Then I changed the attributes of the stacvol.dsk file.

Previously, when stacker couldn't mount it, t set the thing to read-only.
As a result, speedisk would ignore the file.  So I gave the dos command:

attrib -r -a -s -h c:\stacvol.dsk 

Then, I ran speedisk.  This was the scary part. Would defragging without
the stacker device driver's watchful eye mulch the Dr.'s data?

In my case, no, thank god.

I defragged, replaced the stacker stuff in the config.sys, and rebooted.
And there it was.  Now drive C was nice and big and drive D was tiny.  Nothing ws lost. Stacker automagically reset the attributes of its file
for me.  So I ran scheck, sdefrag, chkdsk (all the greats) and got the hell
out of there.

Your mileage may vary, but it beats the beat out of reformatting!
Good Luck.

You might also look at the program that Nota Bene uses as its "engine"--
XyWrite III+.  It is lean, fast, and infinitely customizable.  No menus just
simple commands from a command line, clean screen. Very straightforward, so
easy to learn and use; but also powerful because you can build powerful macros
right into the keyboard. XyWrite IV turned into Signature, which is also fine,
but has more bells and whistles which you might not need. Because of its
customizability you can throw many of bells and whistles away and
end up with a souped up XyWriteIII+.  But XyWrite III+ you can get for
about $200 street price.

If you are looking for a graphics screen dump facility
from DOS, create a little .bat file that reads:

            graphics laserjetii /bp:std

or just type it before you run your program. Next, when
you hit the PrntScr key, your graphics land on paper
(but slooooow..., 3-5 min/page).

However, if you are looking for a Win3.1 program,
Snagit from Horizon Technologies (compuserve
75226.3136) or, even better, Paint Shop Pro from JASC
(Eden Prairie, MN; shareware) would do the job. The
simplest way in Windows would be to capture the screen
(PrntScr), import it into your WfW 2.0 and print (but
the quality suffers...). I'm not a Win3.1 expert by any
means, but these methods work for me.

	On Ultrix systems (I'm not sure if this is a general Unix option)
you can have a .kermrc file which automatically specifies things like this.
For example, mine looks like


set send packet-length 1000
set receive packet-length 1000
set block-check 3
set file type binary 8 

Since I always do binary transfers.  (I zip text files first.)

You're in luck! I did this recently. And I have basically the same system you
have:
	KLH 195 286 clone with 3 megs of ram
	dr dos 6
	Turbo C

	I had a similar problem. What I did was I created a bootdisk. It had no
TSR's loaded (not even a mouse driver), and no memory management. It was
running like my friends 640K 8088, except it was faster and had 3 megs of ram.
I ran DPMIINST, and it worked o.k. I ran Turbo C, it worked fine. Got out fine. 
Rebotted my machine with my normal boot (all the memory management, caches,
tsrs, etc). Worked fine.
	A word for you and the "Get MS-DOS" crowed:
	On page 644 of the Turbo C++ manual, it describes similar problems for
messy-dos 5 users, who have the "DOS=HIGH" line in their config.sys. They
recommend the procedure I described (take out memory managers, run dpmiinst,
put memory managers back in).
	Obviously this problem is not unique to DR-DOS 6. I feel that six is a
supior chooice for the "bus-sized challenged"
