MORE INFORMATION

; Microsoft DoubleSpace Setup Information File
;
; This file customizes the behavior of DoubleSpace when it is compressing
; existing drives or creating new drives.

;
; Commands under [SpecialFiles] indicate actions to be taken for specific
; files; the options are COPY=filename, IGNORE=filename, and
; MOVE=filename. Without a path, any file of that name will match;
; wildcards (?, *) are acceptable.
;
;   COPY=
;     Specified file(s) are copied to compresed drive, and left behind on
;     the uncompressed drive.
;
;   IGNORE=
;     Specified file(s) are left behind on the uncompressed drive.
;
;   MOVE=
;     Specified file(s) are moved to the compressed drive.  This is the
;     default behavior for all files, except those with the SYSTEM
;     attribute.
;
[SpecialFiles]
;
;  The following two exceptions are for Microsoft Chart, French version:

   MOVE=MC.COM
   MOVE=MCA

;
;  The following two exceptions are for Microsoft Multiplan, French
; version:

   MOVE=PLAN.COM

;

   MOVE=MW.COM
   MOVE=MWA

;
;  The following exception is for Norton Anti-Virus:
;

   COPY=NAV_.SYS
;
;  The next two are for drivers required to access the hard disk, whose
;  absence could cause data loss [rather than refused access]
;  if they were not loaded during recovery from an unexpected reboot
;  while compressing a drive.
;
   COPY=ASPI4DOS.SYS
   COPY=USPI14.SYS

;
; Programs under [CopyFiles] are optional utilities that will be left on
; the original boot drive if there is enough space.
;

   PROTMAN
   WORKGRP
   UBNEI

   ELNKII

;
; Programs under [prior] will have DEVICEHIGH=DBLSPACE.SYS placed -
; before- them in config.sys.  This is done to avoid memory
; incompatibilities. Note that it is okay to have multiple DBLSPACE.SYS
; lines in config.sys; any redundant loads are ignored.
;
[Prior]
   PROTMAN

;
; [Fragments] accepts two lines:  Initial=#### and Addition=#### .
; Initial is the number of fragments which will be allowed during SETUP
; Addition is the number of fragments we allow, above that which is
; currently in use, at all other times with DoubleSpace.
