SYMPTOMS

When you create disk images for a custom application using the Microsoft Office 97 Developer Edition Tools (ODE) Setup Wizard or the Microsoft Access Developer's Toolkit (ADT) Setup Wizard, the file compression ratio is less than some third-party compression utility programs. For example, the ODE or ADT 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 kylobytes (KB).

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
