Yep, that was Peak Microsoft - right after they made Windows 3.1 break with 
DR-DOS. My co-sysop at the time worked for Addstor, the company that made a 
disk compression program similar to Stacker. They had a bear of a time 
getting Windows to run on it, but Microsoft's compression tool ran just 
fine. He could discuss at great length about the suspicions they had.

I used it to get the last bit of life out of a 70mb drive the BBS was 
running on... How far we've come.
