SUMMARY
PC Tools version 9.0 Optimizer generates the following error message when
used with DriveSpace:
Optimizer Execution Error
The DBLSPACE drive internal structure is
damaged. Optimizer cannot continue.
Running PC Tools DiskFix as detailed the PC Tools "User's Guide" to correct
this error results in corruption to the DriveSpace compressed volume
file (CVF).
PC Tools 9.0 does not recognize the new DriveSpace format; therefore, to
avoid possible data corruption, run MS-DOS 6.22 ScanDisk rather than PC
Tools 9.0.
