I am truly grateful for your reply which raises other questions in my mind. I have formatted in NTFS. 1. Does compression use algorithms that can be misinterpreted like Stac did or is it simply a better way of utilizing space? 2. Is there any operating speed loss when working with compressed software or data? 3. Is NT compression the same as disk defragmentation and if it is should there be scheduled "compression" runs? 4. Can compression be reversed and compressed files restored to their original status before compression? If so, how? I trade on-line and rapid data flow and interpretation is paramount - far more important to me than any improvement in storage capacity. This is my first concern and the reason I have asked these added questions. I hope you do not mind my asking you to take the time to answer these additional questions in addition to the time you took to answer my post.
