OS/2 Warp Compression

["Darren P. McCabe" <halinatr@gwis2.circ.gwu.edu>]

I just started running Warp on my TP750, 170mb 20 MG RAM, and I have two 
observations:

1. What a space hog! Even dumping the majority of the free works stuff, 
AND limiting the swapfile size, this this is a pig.  I also dislike how 
long it takes to boot up, I could do dos and windows in half the time!

2. I bought the Lotus Smartsuite for OS/2 (At $120, what a deal!) and I 
hope to heck they improve it in the future....Amipro and 123 ae GIANT 
leaps backward from Word for Windows 6.0 and Excel for win 5.0 in terms 
of features and ease of use. I am waiting for some enhancements, hint hint!

As I have a 170MB hard drive, I decided to make it easy on myself...I 
copied everthing from my hard drive to the network at work, and then 
reformatted and started fresh with OS/2 Warp.  I managed to get about 5% 
of my windows programs back on, because I allotted 100 meg for OS/2 and 
Smartsuite. 

I didn't realize OS/2 would be wanting a 20meg swap file, and would take 
over 30 megs if given its way.  Needless to say, I am still only 
moderatly happy with the whole process, but remain optimistic that we 
will see more native OS/2 software, and hence more enhancements. 

Someone posted a Stacker-like program for OS/2 which took advantage of 
32bit performance....I looked and wound up installing Zipstream, which 
can't be correct.  Could I get the name of that file again, as it appears 
on the OS/2 Shareware BBS? 

Thanks,

Hal
