- The latest edition of Windows magazine mentions that DOS 6.0 should be
- available in the March ('93) timeframe. Further, DOS 6.0 will include
- an lzh (similar to Stacker) disk compression feature that will allow
- 1.5:1 to 2:1 compression ratios. I think Stacker 2.0 will do up to 8:1
- depending on the type of files you have on your disks.
