The DBLSPACE /UNCOMPRESS command removes DBLSPACE.BIN from memory
after it has uncompressed the last mounted compressed volume file
(CVF). If you have more than one mounted CVF and you uncompress one of
them, DoubleSpace leaves DBLSPACE.BIN in memory.

DoubleSpace removes DBLSPACE.BIN from memory by deleting DBLSPACE.INI
and DBLSPACE.BIN from the root directory of your startup drive and
then removing any references to DBLSPACE.SYS in the CONFIG.SYS file.

If you have CVFs that are not mounted, DoubleSpace still removes
DBLSPACE.BIN from memory and deletes the DBLSPACE.INI file after
uncompressing the last mounted CVF.

To mount one of the remaining CVFs, you must copy DBLSPACE.BIN from
the directory containing your MS-DOS files (typically C:\DOS) to the
root directory of drive C and create a DBLSPACE.INI file.

For more information on creating a new DBLSPACE.INI file, query on the
following words in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

   create and dblspace.ini and alternative

NOTE: If you run MemMaker after you install DoubleSpace and then later
remove DoubleSpace, run MemMaker after you remove DoubleSpace to
optimize your memory use.
