___________________________________________________________________________ STAC NOTE STAC NOTE Title: 10 Great Reasons to Upgrade to Stacker 3.0 for Windows & DOS! STAC FAC Index #1101 - 10/26/92 ___________________________________________________________________________ With Stacker 3.0's great new features and enhancements, you get more control, added flexibility, and even better performance from your computer! And, with Stacker 3.0 you get up to 10% greater compression, and it's 25% faster than Stacker 2.0! 1. New Stackometer. Think of it as a gas gauge for your computer. It's a brand-new on-screen Windows tool that will change forever the way you manage your disk drives. In its full-screen state, it gives you unprecedented feedback and control over your hard disk, with an accurate display of your compression ratio, disk space, and fragmentation level. When you minimize your Stackometers down to icons, you can monitor the space on all your disk drives as you work. 2. New Flexible Setup gives you more control and more choices. Now you can set up from Windows or DOS. If you choose Express Setup, Stacker 3.0's unparalleled intelligence will "read" your system configuration and stack every drive automatically. Choose Custom Setup, and you make all the decisions. Or start with Express Setup and fine-tune later. It's all up to you. 3. New Stacker Tuner gives you unequaled flexibility in managing your system. Trade off between space and speed anytime your needs change. If you choose greater compression, you'll get up to 10% more disk space than with Stacker 2.0. On a 200 MB drive, that 10% increase means 40MB of additional disk space--plenty of room for more applications. And on today's faster machines, the difference in speed is imperceptible. 4. Double Password Protection. Stacker 3.0 for Windows and DOS is the only data compression software that lets you protect each drive with two separate passwords--one read/write password, and one read-only password. It's peace-of-mind security for big corporations, small companies, or anyone who shares computers, laptops, or disks. 5. New Stacker Anywhere. With Stacker Anywhere, you can stack a floppy or any other removable disk and take it to a computer that's not running Stacker. Then you can actually read from and write to that drive, floppy, or cartridge. No other data compression software offers you that flexibility. 6. Compress Bigger Drives than Ever Before. With Stacker 2.0 you could double a 256 MB drive 512 MB. That was good. But this is better: with Stacker 3.0 you can double a 1 gigabyte drive to 2 gigabytes. Now Stacker 3.0 can help you get the most out of the big drives. 7. Enhanced Stacker Optimizer. Now you'll enjoy a substantial improvement in speed. And we've added a new Quick Defrag option for even faster optimization. A new on-screen visual display shows you precisely what's going on. Plus, you can launch the Stacker Optimizer right from the Stackometer in Windows. 8. New Stacker Preview. Before you actually stack a disk, you may want to see how its capacity will change. Now Stacker includes a preview program that you can run on any unstacked disk to show your compression ratio even before you set up. 9. New UnStack allows you to return your system to its original unstacked state. 10. Enhanced Transparency and Compatibility. Handling Windows swap files is now completely automatic. With automount, floppies and other removables are easier to stack, because they're ready to use instantly, anywhere. And whenever you change your configuration, Stacker 3.0 automatically updates your system files. Stacker works more seamlessly than ever, whether you're using Windows or DOS. Upgrade now to Stacker 3.0 for Windows and DOS--the only data compression software that gives you more control, flexibility and performance!
