SUMMARY
=======

The following problems occur when a network drive is mapped over a drive letter
reserved for use by DoubleSpace.

- If a network drive is mapped over a host drive letter, the full- screen
  DoubleSpace maintenance program changes the LastDrive= line in the
  DBLSPACE.INI file. No error message is displayed.

- You may receive the following error message when you choose DoubleSpace Info
  from the Tools menu in File Manager:

  DblSpace Error - There was a problem reading the information from this
  compressed drive.

- After you mount a removable disk and use the same drive letter for the host
  drive and a network drive you can't access the network drive. (To work around
  this problem, unmount the compressed disk.)

NOTE: 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.
