Enjoy the benefits of great, reliable HPFS data compression and get one of the best OS/2 utility packages at the same time! IIIIIIIIII The DCF/2: IIIIIIIIII The DCF/2 is an "on-the-fly" data compression facility which allows you to increase the effective data storage capacity of your OS/2 computer system. Using the DCF/2, you can expand your available hard disk space - an average of 2.5:1 for typical user file mixes. If you have used traditional "on-the-fly" data compression products -- get ready! The DCF/2 is unlike anything you've used before. You don't need to commit yourself or your entire system to data compression in order to try it. DCF/2 "Virtual Disk Units", or VDUs, are High Performance File System (HPFS) formatted compressed storage devices which are actually stored on your existing disks. Any OS/2 disk can be used, including FAT, HPFS, Floppies, and even LAN drives! For example, if your system is FAT-only, you can still enjoy the benefits of the HPFS file system without changing anything! You can create DCF/2 VDUs even when you are almost out of physical disk space. VDUs use physical disk space dynamically, growing as you move your uncompressed files into the compressed volumes. For example, a fully formatted 512MB DCF/2 VDU initially requires only about 256KB of physical space! The DCF/2's installation program is easy to use and takes only a couple of minutes. You do not have to commit your system to this new capability. You select what programs, files, and system information you wish to compress. OS/2 has all of the tools to make this process easy and totally transparent! IIIIIIIIII DeskMan/2: IIIIIIIIII DeskMan/2 is the premier solution to managing and securing your OS/2 desktop. Unmatched in the power it offers you, with DeskMan/2 you can control multiple desktops, manage and secure the OS/2 Workplace Shell, and protect your customized Desktop layout! IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Partition Magic: IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Partition Magic is the one and only utility that lets you interactively shrink or expand your existing hard disk partitions, convert FAT partitions to HPFS, move your hard disk partitions, and view all partitions on any drive in one window!
