SUMMARY
=======

Microsoft MS-DOS 6.2 DBLSPACE /UNCOMPRESS supports the same restart
functionality that DBLSPACE /COMPRESS does. If the power is interrupted during
data-compression or uncompression, DoubleSpace continues appropriately when the
power is restored.

However, if the power is interrupted before DoubleSpace starts uncommpressing the
drive (during the ScanDisk phase), DoubleSpace restarts after the power is
restored but does not run ScanDisk.

This information applies to both Microsoft DoubleSpace and Microsoft DriveSpace.
For MS-DOS 6.22, use DRVSPACE in place of DBLSPACE for commands and filenames.


Additional query words: 6.20
