2. Load Stacker (Mount the Compressed Volume(s))
If the drive you created is not mounted, modify CONFIG.SYS as follows to load Stacker as
a device driver:
DEVICE=C:\STACKER\DPMS.EXE
DEVICE=C:\STACKER\STACKER.COM
The STACKER.INI file is used by device driver STACKER.COM when loaded in
CONFIG.SYS. If necessary, edit STACKER.INI to add or modify lines.
Note: STACKER.INI may be set with DOS attributes of hidden, system,
and read-only. To see this file via DOS's DIR command, use the /AH
switch.
To modify the file's attributes so it can be edited with a standard text editor, use the DOS
ATTRIB command with the following command line:
ATTRIB -R -S -H C:\STACKER.INI
Once the modification is complete, use the command line above with +R, +S, and +H to
append the attributes back to the file.
After loading Stacker (via CONFIG.SYS) and setting STACKER.INI properly, reboot your
development PC for a proper setup. Then use the following command line to find out what
drive letters Stacker assigned to your compressed drives:
STACKER
Stacker displays information similar to the following:
