      STACKER NOTE                                         STACKER NOTE
                     CONVERTING REMOVABLE STACKER DISKS
                 (Applies to Stacker for Windows & DOS 4.0)

      BACKGROUND
      
      Stacker's Setup converts only mounted, fixed Stacker disks to the
      latest format. However, Stacker's HCONVERT program easily
      converts a compressed removable disk, such as a floppy disk, a
      Bernoulli, or a SyQuest.
      
      SOLUTION
      
          Update the Stacker Disk.
          Mount the updated Stacker disk.
          Recompress your data with the Stacker Optimizer.
           
      
      Update the Removable Stacker Disk
      
       1.  From the DOS prompt, type:
              HCONVERT /C drive:\STACVOL.DSK <Enter>
           where drive: is the letter of the drive you are updating.
       2.  You will receive a message that you should use SETUP to
           update your drives. You will be asked if you wish to
           continue anyway. Choose Continue. The disk will be updated.
      
      Mount the updated Stacker disk
      
      You may mount the converted Stacker disk manually, or you may set
      up the disk to be automatically mounted whenever you insert a
      compressed disk or cartridge into its drive.
      
       1.  To manually mount the disk, go to the Stacker directory and
           type STACKER drive: <Enter>.
       2.  To Automount the disk, from the DOS prompt type: ED /I
           <Enter>. This will bring up your STACKER.INI file in an
           editor.
       3.  Go to the end of the file. Add the following parameters,
           each on its own line:
           /RP=1
           drive:
       Where drive: is the letter of the drive you wish to Automount.
       4.  Save the file and restart your computer. When you insert the
           compressed disk into its drive, Stacker will automatically
           detect the fact that it is a compressed Stacker disk, and
           mount it. It will be accessible from both DOS and Windows.
           
      Recompress your data with the Stacker Optimizer
      
       1.  At the DOS prompt, type:
              STAC <Enter>
       2.  Choose Stacker Optimizer.
       3.  Select the drive you want to recompress.
       4.  Choose Full-MaxSpace.
      Stacker recompresses the data on the selected drive.
