Drivespace/Doublespace?

Hi!
Is there any program for the PPC that can compress an sd-card like doulespace or stacker in the old DOS-days? I really dont care about the slowdown and battery drain, i just need som extra space when im leaving for 2weeks of vacation.

Cheers

cards are so cheap now it wouldn't pay to do that in my opinion.

Geez i thought i had bunkered up against that kind of posts by saying that i dont care about performance and battery.. Im going away in 24 house so i cant go get a card now, i want to compress it..

Rescoe Explorer has a built in ZIP compression capability.
I think something like that would be the only real thing you would find.

Vacation huh? You're not thinking about trying to doublespace a bunch of pictures from your digital camera, are you? They are already compressed. You might be able to compress them a bit more with a zip type compression, but you'd only get another 10% or so.

If you're not talking about pictures, then... uh ... never mind.

Like MrKlaatu said, try out SwellDisk. It might help a bit.
