Can somebody tell me about Z80DOS?

I happened to get a copy of P2DOS a while back, and have just now gotten 
around to installing it (yes, it works!). The main attraction was having
timestamps, although the search path (I haven't implemented that yet) seems
also to be a good idea. The extra space freed up is a big help in supporting
additional ZCPR3 features.

I am aware of the existence of SUPRDOS, but this plethora of p/d BDOSes 
is annoying.. ZCPR3 was a whole lot easier to decide on for the lack of
"competition".

If somebody could post or e-mail me a comparison of SUPRDOS, Z80DOS, and 
P2DOS, I would be grateful. (Of course, if somebody would send me SUPRDOS
and Z80DOS, *I* would post the comparison.   only 1/2 :-)
