Hi Marcus,
As far as I can see, it does give me message like "Encoding (XX%)" when I use
dpress on helpfiles or books. Which basically means that dpress is indeed compr-
-essing the file. DPRESS initially refused to compress files even as big as 30-40KB,
but then I used "dpress /a" option and it started compressing everything ! (This
is unrelated, but I just wanted to mention that DPRESS refused to compress the
file because of their size and nothing else and I got around it using /a option.)

I initially suspected this too until Marc mentioned about PKWare compression.
Now, I am a bit confused.

I haven't used an SRAM card yet but I doubt that would make any difference.
