Real-Time Compression From StackDriver
Posted by Brad Adrian in "SOFTWARE" @ 03:00 AM
I recently came across an interesting-looking auto-compression utility for the Pocket PC: StackDriver.
"StackDriver is a Storage Compression Utility. It compresses and decompress your files automatically, for example, when you want to use a file, StackDriver decompresses it as an ordinary file, and when you want to save or store a file, StackDriver automatic compress it to safe your memory space! The only problem with ordinary compression programs is that you use it to compress or decompress data manually. StackDriver is the first Windows CE based compression utility designed to make it easiest to work with compressed data."
The StackDriver site has many different versions, optimzied for many of today's most popular Pocket PC models, so if you want to take StackDriver for a spin, be sure to grab the right version.
And now, the bad news...There are no demo versions available, and the price is $29.99. That price is significantly higher than what I'm willing to pay for all but the most impressive applications, so I don't think I'll take the plunge UNLESS somebody out there can give me a pretty good recommendation. Anyone?...Anyone?
