SUMMARY
=======

If you are using Software Carousel version 6.0 as a task swapper, you may be
able to run MS-DOS Setup, Defragmenter (Defrag), DoubleSpace, or DriveSpace
successfully. However, there is a risk of data loss if your applications are
loaded in the Software Carousel task swapper.

To avoid potential data loss, ensure you are not running applications from the
Software Carousel task swapper when you run MS-DOS Setup, Defrag, DoubleSpace,
or DriveSpace.
