MS-DOS 6

MS-DOS 6 is a family of versions of MS-DOS, initially released in March 1993, with updates being released until June 1994.
== MS-DOS 6.00 ==
MS-DOS 6.00 was released in 1993. This version included many new utilities and features:
* Disk defragmenter
* Disk compression
* Anti-virus (MSAV and MWAV)
* A new backup system
* PC-PC file transfer tools
It was heavily criticized as buggy by the press, primarily due to file corruption issues with DoubleSpace (disk compression utility based on Vertisoft's DoubleDisk) and the lack of tools to repair such issues.MS-DOS 6.0, WinWorld.

== MS-DOS 6.20 ==
MS-DOS 6.20 was released in November 1993. Microsoft skipped the 6.10 version number as a marketing response to IBM PC-DOS 6.10, which was released at the same timeframe. After complaints from users about data loss, DoubleSpace was finalized. The SCANDISK program has been added, and DISKCOPY and SmartDrive have been improved.
