Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

                       DRVSPACE /COMPRESS ── Examples
 
To compress drive D, type the following command:
 
    drvspace /compress d:
 
Because this command does not specify how much space to leave uncompressed,
DriveSpace leaves 2 MB of uncompressed space (the default). Because the
command does not specify a drive letter for the uncompressed drive,
DriveSpace assigns the next available drive letter to the new uncompressed
drive (the host drive).
 
To direct DriveSpace to compress drive E, assign the drive letter F to the
new uncompressed drive (the host drive), and leave 4 MB of uncompressed
space on drive F, type the following command:
 
    drvspace /compress e: /newdrive=f: /reserve=4
