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.
