With Windows 95 DriveSpace, you can compress drives and manage drives compressed with DriveSpace or DoubleSpace. (You can even have drives of both compression types on your computer.)
When Windows 95 is installed, Setup replaces the DBLSPACE.BIN or DRVSPACE.BIN file in the root directory of the boot drive with versions that can be unloaded during the system startup process and replaced with DBLSPACX.VXD.
The version of DriveSpace provided with Windows 95 protects long filenames and includes other changes for compatibility with the VFAT file system.
This section presents an overview of CVFs and host drives, plus information about using DriveSpace for disk compression.
