SYMPTOMS
========

DoubleSpace may not be able to convert a Stacker 3.0 compressed drive if the
stacked volume has a filename other than STACVOL.DSK. If the stacked volume is
not named STACVOL.DSK, you may receive the following error message:

  Dblspace was not able to convert your Stacker drives to dblspace format

CAUSE
=====

The conversion process searches specifically for the stacked volume named
STACKVOL.DSK.

RESOLUTION
==========

To correct this problem, rename the stacked volume STACVOL.DSK. In addition,
change the reference to the stacked volume in the CONFIG.SYS file. For example:

     device=c:\stacker\stacker.com c:\stackvol.dsk
