Actually, drive compression was stolen from Stack-It, (which I bought 
just prior to MSDOS 6.0, and immediately saw that both Stack-It and 
drive compression used all the same commands), a company they then 
bought in order to get out of the law suit.  Most of what MS added to 
MSDOS in the early days was the result of buying the competition or 
stealing from them.
