      STACKER NOTE                                         STACKER NOTE
                      UPDATING REMOVABLE STACKER DISKS
                 (Applies to Stacker for Windows & DOS 4.0)
      STAC FAX  4602 (06-22-1994)
      -----------------------------------------------------------------
      
      BACKGROUND
      
      Stacker's Setup updates only mounted, fixed Stacker disks to the
      latest format. However, Stacker's HCONVERT program easily updates
      a compressed removable disk, such as a floppy disk, a Bernoulli,
      or a SyQuest.
      
      SOLUTION
      
         - Update the Stacker Disk.
         - Mount the updated Stacker disk.
         - Recompress your data with the Stacker Optimizer.
         - Special considerations for Stacker Anywhere.
      
      Update the Removable Stacker Disk
      
       1.  From the DOS prompt, type:
              HCONVERT /C drive:\STACVOL.DSK <Enter>
           where drive: is the letter of the drive you are updating.
       2.  You will receive a message that you should use SETUP to
           update your drives. You will be asked if you wish to
           continue anyway. Choose Continue. The disk will be updated.
      
      Mount the updated Stacker disk
      
      You may mount the updated Stacker disk manually, or you may set
      up the disk to be automatically mounted whenever you insert a
      compressed disk or cartridge into its drive.
      
       1.  To manually mount the disk, go to the Stacker directory and
           type STACKER drive: <Enter>.
       2.  To Automount the disk, from the DOS prompt type: ED /I
           <Enter>. This will bring up your STACKER.INI file in an
           editor.
       3.  Go to the end of the file. Add the following parameters,
           each on its own line:
           /AUTO (Add this line if your removable is a Bernoulli or
           Syquest drive. Make this the first line in the file.)
           drive:\STACVOL.DSK,RP (Add this line right after any other
           lines listing STACVOL files.)
           Where drive: is the letter of the drive you wish to
           Automount.
       4.  Save the file and restart your computer. When you insert the
           compressed disk into its drive, Stacker will automatically
           detect the fact that it is a compressed Stacker disk, and
           mount it. It will be accessible from both DOS and Windows.
           
      Recompress your data with the Stacker Optimizer
      
       1.  At the DOS prompt, type:
              STAC <Enter>
       2.  Choose Stacker Optimizer.
       3.  Select the drive you want to recompress.
       4.  Choose Full-MaxSpace. Stacker recompresses the data on the
           selected drive.
           
      Special considerations for Stacker Anywhere
      
      If you wish to use the Stacker Anywhere feature on your removable
      disks, you will need to use the new version of STACKER.EXE.
      
       1.  Unmount your removable disk by going to the STACKER
           directory and typing STACKER -drive: <enter>, where drive:
           is the removable drive.
       2.  Copy STACKER.EXE from the STACKER directory on your hard
           drive to the removable drive. If it fails to copy due to
           insufficient space, you may change the size of your Stacker
           drive.
       3.  If you must change the size of the Stacker drive on the
           removable, mount the drive by typing STACKER drive: <enter>.
       4.  Type STAC <enter>. This will bring up the Stacker Toolbox.
           Select Change Drive Size. Select the A drive, then More
           Uncompressed Space Available.
       5.  You will be presented with a range to make available on the
           uncompressed drive. Enter 58 (for 58 Kilobytes) in the space
           provided and press enter. Follow the instructions on the
           screen. Note: the system may need to reboot in order to
           mount the removable Stacker disk. If the disk is in drive A,
           remove it before pressing enter to reboot. Insert it into
           its drive after the system is restarted.
       6.  Unmount the removable drive. Change to the STACKER directory
           and type:
           STACKER -drive: <enter>
       7.  Copy the file STACKER.EXE from the Stacker directory to the
           removable disk.
       8.  Restart your system. You may now take the disk to a computer
           without Stacker and mount it. Insert the disk into its
           drive, change to that drive and type: STACKER <enter>.
