	Title: STACKING A FLOPPYLESS NOTEBOOK COMPUTER
	       (Applies to Stacker for Windows & DOS 3.0x)
	STAC FAX 3003  (6/93)
	_______________________________________________________________

	BACKGROUND

	  You can intall Stacker 3.0 on a notebook computer that has 
	  only a C drive if it can transfer files to and from a second 
	  larger computer.  You must start the installation on the 
	  larger computer. 
  
	PROCEDURE

	  The Setup procedure explains most of your choices on the 
	  screen.  The Stacker for Windows & DOS User's Guide contains 
	  additional information.  This procedure varies somewhat to 
	  allow you to install Stacker on a floppyless notebook.

	    1.  Create a STACKER directory on the C drive of the 
		notebook.  Change to the C drive and type:
	
		    MD STACKER <Enter>

	    2.  Transfer the Stacker files from the larger computer to 
		the STACKER directory on the notebook.

		If Stacker has been installed on that computer, the 
		files are probably in a directory named C:\STACKER.  
		Otherwise you can transfer them from the floppy disks. 
	
	    3.  Edit the AUTOEXEC.BAT file on the notebook's C drive. 
		To the end of the PATH statement, add 

		    ;C:\STACKER

		If there is no PATH statement, add this line:

		    PATH C:\STACKER

	    4.  To change to the STACKER directory on the C drive, 
		type:

		    CD STACKER <Enter>

	    5.  To personalize Stacker, type:

		    SETUP /=F <Enter> 
	
		When Setup asks you to insert a disk, choose Exit to 
		end Setup.

	    6.  To start creating a Stacker drive, type:

		    SETUP <Enter>
    
	    7.  If offered a choice between Express and Custom, choose 
		Custom and select drive C.

	    8.  When offered a choice between "Entire Drive" and "Free 
		Space", choose Free Space.

	    9.  In the "Space to Use" field, type 1 to build an empty 
		Stacker drive that is 1 MB in size, then choose 
		"Stack".

	    10. When the Stacker drive is created, let Setup restart 
		your computer to mount the new drive as D.

	    11. Use this command to copy the Stacker files to the empty 
		Stacker drive:

		    COPY C:\STACKER\*.* D:\ <Enter>

	    12. To start compressing the data on C drive, type:

		    D:\SETUP <Enter>
    
	    13. Select drive C.

	    14. When offered a choice between "Entire Drive" and "Free 
		Space", choose Entire Drive.

	    15. Next, choose "Stack".

	    16. When the Stacker drive is created, let Setup restart 
		your computer to mount the new drive.

	    17. After Setup restarts your computer, type:

		    CD \STACKER <Enter>

	    18. To remove the temporary drive D, type:
	
		    REMOVDRV D: <Enter> 
	    
	    19. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file on drive C: to remove the 
		reference to the temporary D drive.  The line should 
		read as follows:

		    DEVICE=C:\STACKER\STACKER.COM C:\STACVOL.DSK

	    20. Restart your computer again.  Drive C is now a Stacker 
		drive.
