USE STACKER 3.0 ON THE 100LX

If you use Stacker 2.01 on the HP 100LX, and have problems with the Palmtop "unmounting" the stacker volume, you need to use Stacker 3.0. You can knock off 4.4K from its memory requirement by using the /P=0 switch in the DEVICE line of CONFIG.SYS. This turns off file compression "tuning." Tuning can be set from P=1, the fastest with lowest compression ratios, to P=9, the slowest with the highest compression ratios. This is set in CONFIG.SYS file. The example below demonstrates this.

[Editor's Note: This command line is entered as a single line in the CONFIG .SYS file, with a space between .com and /P.]

device= c:\stacker\stacker.com /P=0 c:\stacvol.dsk

Stacker will only take 39K of memory. To reformat you SRAM card, pull your battery to make sure the card is unreadable, reinstall the battery and reformat.
