Hi,

	I am using Hyperdisk program with QEMM 5.11 and using PC-TOOLS compress.
I have not found anyproblems with this. You have to run hyperdkx.sys (not to
sure as I don't have manual on hand ;-) hyper386.sys is supposed to run best
with himem.sys and windows. Hyperdkx.sys is to be run with QEMM. 
	
	Anyway, there was no problem with compress when run with QEMM and 
hyperdkx but if you run it with hyper386 there was some problems (I think, 
can't exactly remember what was in it when I ran it). Some files seems to
shift around especially the last few files. All the rest was compress correctly
except for the last few files, they seem to jump all over the place. 

	So if you are using QEMM (I assume QRAM will also work) use hyperdkx.sys
instead of hyper386.sys, it is in the documentation). 

	So far no problems. My system config is as follows 

	AMI BIOS (can't remember what date)
	128K cache
	386-33Mhz
	4Mb ram
	80Mb 19ms Maxtor HD
	44Mb Syquest HD
	
	I hope this helps. Make sure you have backups before you try such things
Or else any loss of data will be bad.

Regards,

Michael
