Flaky in what way? It crunches tighter. It's faster. It provides crunch depth
options. I do have 3 complaints... 1: The flash is annoying. 2: It has problems
with stuff that has already been crunched. For ex: When I zapped a workbench
disk with a bunch of powerpacked programs on it, it didn't decompress those
correctly and just caused gurus, when they were executed. 3: It doesn't provide
start track-end track options. It's a good program (although I'll admit, I like
DImp better).
