- It does have that...and it works in real-time, even if the
- "Stackometer" is iconized. I don't use Windoze, though, so the

- By tuning v3.0 to emphasize compression over speed, they say you can
- get about 10% better compression. Overall speed is supposed to be
- about 25% better. I just won a copy at COMDEX today...I'll have a
- chance to play with it a bit. :-) (Don't know how much extra space
- it'll create on a drive full of ZIPs, GIFs, etc.)
