 |
|
| Does anyone know of some freeware that will compress a fat 32 drive under Windoze 98SE? Besides the resident program I mean. It won't compress fat 32s. |

| DustBuster is a garbage file removing utility for Microsoft Windows operating systems. It searches for junk files and temp files that are of no use and are just taking space on your hard drive. Based on a "common sense" scanning technology, DustBuster now cleans over 1500 different types of useless temp files and directories in a single click, detecting and deleting all these unneeded files automatically. This will increase hard disk space on Windows 98/ME/2000/XP/2003. |

My version is in English.
The first versions were in Italian only, but the program was so simple and self-explanatory that it presented no problem. I suggest you try to download it again.
It is the most thorough and speedy cleaner I know, and it has never caused me any problems.
You get no information about what it's doing, so I feel a little uncomfortable when it's running.  |

Google has a nice converter.
"1 GBP in canadian dollars" gives me this page . . . <http://www.google.co.uk/search?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-GB% 3Aofficial&channel=s&hl=en&q=1
+gbp+in+canadian+dollars&meta=&btnG=Google+Search>
Which tells me that 1 British pound is about 2 and a bit canadian dollars. |

I just installed 2.9.5.1 on a comp I am servicing, once installed, double click on the shortcut & it does it's own thing, leave it alone until it finishes. Starts off with one screen, then 2, then 1 & if you are paying attention at the end, you will see how many MB's were removed. Or, make a note of the space available before & after using. I just removed 668 mb.
If you want the non Italian version, I can upload to a site of your or my choice. |
