       BACKGROUND
       
       The Stacker interceptor redirects DOS compression-related
       commands to their Stacker equivalents.  Its default configuration
       is not effective when the Novell NetX driver is running.
       
       SOLUTION
       
           Modify your STACKER.INI file to disable the Stacker
           interceptor.
           Modify your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to re-enable the Stacker
           interceptor.
            
       Modify your STACKER.INI file
       
        1. Insert Stacker Disk 1 into drive A or B.
        2. Change to the floppy disk drive by typing A: (or B:) and
           pressing <Enter>.
        3. From the DOS prompt, type STACKER and press <Enter>.
        4. Note the drive letter of the uncompressed drive which is
           exchanged with C (your boot drive).  The drive letter is
           displayed in the far right column.
        5. From the DOS prompt, type
       
                \TOOLS\STACINI drive:
       
           where drive: is the letter of the uncompressed drive.
        6. Add the switch
       
                /I-
       
        7. Press Ctrl+Z to save the file.
        8. Restart your computer.
            
       Complete the next procedure to make the Stacker interceptor
       effective with NetX.  Otherwise, if you prefer not to run the
       Stacker interceptor, then use the Stacker commands when needed.
       For example, use SDEFRAG rather than DEFRAG to optimize a Stacker
       drive.
       
       Modify your AUTOEXEC.BAT file
       
        1. Use any text editor to edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, and add
           the following line after your Novell Network drivers:
       
                    C:\STACKER\REDIRECT.COM
       
        2. Save the file and exit to DOS.
