Come on Carey. You have been spouting this drivel for over two years now!
Again! Msbackup has NOTHING to do with Drive Space!! They are two totally
different compression schemes.One creates a compressed drive which must be
mounted and un-mounted to access the files on the drive. The other just
compresses files and creates a larger compressed file containing many
smaller files.
A Drive Space enabled floppy can only be read on a computer that has Drive
Space installed and operational. Not all Win95/98 computers have this
service functional as many deemed it to be a hassle to use and dangerous to
their files! Therefore they either did not install it or chose to remove the
functionality!
