  17. According to their upgrade notice, Stacker 3.0 will have
  18. StackerAnywhere (TM) which allows you to compress a floppy and
  19. use the compressed floppy on systems that doesn't have Stacker.
  20.  
  21. As for the Windows interface, it is suppose to have a nifty
  22. display to show how much of your disk is in use.
  23.  
  24. But, I don't think you'll see the compression is any better.  If I'm
  25. wrong, I'll be pleasantly surprised.
