SYMPTOMS

When you use the Microsoft Office 2000 Developer (MOD) Setup Wizard to create disk images for a custom application, the file compression ratio is less than some third-party compression utility programs. For example, the MOD Setup Wizard may compress a database from 1.7 megabytes (MB) to 1.06MB. In comparison, a third-party compression utility may compress the same 1.7 MB database to 420 kilobytes (KB).
