I use stacker in my spare pc for years since the MSDOS 5.0 date, and 
drivespace in another pc with MSDOS 6.22, my only conclusion is stacker 
perform better than drivespace especially on compress ratio. 

Opendos seems not compatible with drivespace, as I created a opendos boot 
diskette which can auto-mount the stacker volume but not the drivespace 
volume in another pc.

Quite possible.

I was using the Opendos disk sets to create a OpenDos boot disk as a 
starting point.

The setup program seems only modify the config.sys and autoexec.bat in C:\
so be careful.
