SLIM is a powerful file compressor with RAM resident transparent expander, which gives painless access to compressed files. This is done by intercepting DOS calls, allowing applications to read compressed files just as before. So there is no need to worry about technicalities like archives. Just put a command to load SLIM into the AUTOEXEC.BAT file and forget it.
A proprietary algorithm significantly compresses almost all the files found on PCs and gives big savings on disk space. More than half of SLIM Ver 1.00 and 1.01 users who responded to a questionnaire said that SLIM allowed them to postpone or cancel a hard disk upgrade.
A report facility shows which of a group of files are compressed,
by how much and with what total savings.
SLIM's compact size (less than 24KB) makes it practical for floppy as well as hard disk machines. The RAM resident part of SLIM uses 73KB of main memory.
