- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system versions 6.0, 6.2, 6.22

SUMMARY
=======
This information applies to both Microsoft DoubleSpace and Microsoft DriveSpace.
For MS-DOS 6.22, use DRVSPACE in place of DBLSPACE for commands and filenames.
Using Interlnk's INTERSVR command on a volume that has been compressed using
Stacker version 2.0 may fail if INTERSVR incorrectly calculates the amount of
free disk space. If this is the case and you attempt to copy a file to the
compressed volume, you will receive the following error message:
Error writing drive <drive>:
MORE INFORMATION
================
When you run INTERSVR on a compressed Stacker volume, Interlnk may incorrectly
calculate the amount of free disk space on the server machine. Although the DIR
command (when issued locally) may report little or no free disk space, the DIR
command issued through Interlnk may report several megabytes of free disk
space.
This may potentially cause data corruption, but a reproducible case hasn't been
found.
This problem occurs with Stacker; this problem does not occur with Microsoft
DoubleSpace.
Stacker is manufactured by STAC Electronics, a vendor independent of Microsoft;
we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's performance
or reliability.
