- I find it best to install Executor on a Dos Drivespaced or Doublespaced
- partition. That was you can create as large a virtual hard drive for
- Executor, as they take up actually no room (or very little) until data is
- put into it. This doesn't tie up your drive with an unnessarily large
- file, leaving room for it to expand. And if you have to do late minute
- house keeping to accomodate a growing .hfv file, it's better than
- starting out with an .hfv file that is too small in the first place.
-
- And if you need the speed later, you can always free up an uncompressed
- drive and copy your Executor directory to it.
-
- But I've noticed you can't have .hfv files on more than the directory
- that Executor is in (or am I wrong there).
-
- Does Executor look for .hfv files in partitions other than the directory
- it was started in?
