Oh, I lived through those days. I my co-sysop worked for AddStor, the 
company that made SuperStor, a competing product. They ran into issues with 
Windows 3.1 both in installing Windows in an AddStor container, and running 
Windows inside of it.

Lo and Behold, shortly thereafter MS-DOS 6 came with "troublespace:", their 
own compression play.

Superstor was also included (if memory serves) with DR-DOS, another 
competitor that Microsoft allegedly made their products intentionally 
incompatible with.
