1.  The Beta installed flawlessly over Stacker 4.0.  The only issue 
you run into is the fact that Windows 95 will then have to use a DOS 
based (16-bit) disk compression routine as opposed to the 32-bit 
routine in the Windows 95 compression utility.  I switched over to 
the Win95 disk comp utility and now my access time is significantly 
faster and smoother.

2.  Call 1-800-95Preview and talk with Microsoft.  I think they are 
out of the final Beta, but you never now.
