Does anybody know of a good automatic disk compressor?  I saw an
ad for a program called "Squish Plus" and it read as follows:

     Squish Plus
      o Doubles the capacity of any disk
      o Compresses files up to 50%
      o Works on-the-fly without special commands

     Here's the easy way to make a 40 megabyte hard disk hold 80
     megabytes of data, and get 1.4 megabytes of information onto
     a 760K floppy.  It's called Squish Plus, and it's the best
     data compressor we've ever seen.

     Unlike archive programs, it's completely automatic and invisible.
     Your software operates just as before: all word processors,
     databases, spreadsheets, utilities ---anything--- will work with
     Squich Plus.  Files are automatically compressed as they're saved.
     And you get password protection, too.

This program was selling for $99.95.  Has anyone used this program,
and how do you like it?  Are there any other similiar programs?
Thanks in advance for any responses.
