       BACKGROUND
       
       Stacker works great on DOS-based palmtop computers with hard RAM
       drives. You need a special procedure to install it, however. This
       procedure necessitates the use of a second, larger computer with
       a hard disk and the ability to transfer files to the palmtop. The
       larger computer should have at least 2 MB of free space on the
       hard disk.
       
       SOLUTION
       
       You have to build an empty Stacker drive on the larger computer,
       then copy it to the palmtop and arrange access.
       
        1. Run the Stacker Setup program on the host computer as
            described in the manual.
        2. If offered a choice between "Express" and "Custom", choose
            Custom and select a disk with free space.
        3. When offered a choice between "Entire Drive" and "Free
            Space", choose Free Space.
        4. In the "Space to Use" field, type a value about 100 KB
            smaller than your palmtop RAM card (minus any "boot" files
            you require). Then choose Stack.
        5. After Setup is finished, restart the larger computer to
            mount the Stacker drive.
        6. Transfer all the files from the palmtop to the new Stacker
            drive.
        7. Delete everything except the boot files from your palmtop
            RAM card. Boot files are the DOS system files and device
            drivers installed in the CONFIG.SYS file.
        8. Transfer STACKER.COM from the larger computer to the root
            directory of the RAM card.
        9. To make the Stacker drive movable, type:
               SATTRIB -A-H-R d:\STACVOL.000 <Enter>
           where d is the drive where you created it.
        10.Copy STACVOL.000 to the root directory of the RAM disk.
        11.Use any text editor to edit the CONFIG.SYS file on the RAM
            card and add this line:
               DEVICE=C:\STACKER.COM C:\STACVOL.DSK
        12.Restart the palmtop computer. You should now have a new
            drive containing the data previously on drive C. This new
            drive is assigned the next available drive letter, which in
            most cases, will be drive D. Some programs may have to be
            reconfigured due to their relocation.
        13.If your wish to "Swap" drives C and D, transfer SSWAP.COM to
            the root directory of the RAM card and add the following
            lines to your CONFIG.SYS file:
               DEVICE=C:\SSWAP.COM C:\STACVOL.DSK /SYNC
