Well in PCDOS 7.0 for which I was recently a beta tester, they use
Stacker 4.0 disk compression. The new dos also includes the REXX
language interpreter (if you know what it is, you know its useful).
Beta Testing finished in Mid November, but I have no idea when it will be
released. Of interest to thinkpad users, it includes support for docking
stations and newer PCMCIA drivers.
