I have uploaded version 0.2b of the DouBle fs-independent disk compression
driver, with patches against Linux 1.1.15 to sunsite and tsx-11.

This is mainly a maintenance version, with a few improvements and bug fixes.
Although I would have preferred to include new features to the driver before
uploading it, changes to the kernel, since Linux 1.1.? have encouraged me
to submit this intermediate version, which should:

	- patch cleanly.
	- work with cluster (now in the kernel) and IDE patches.
	- address most bug reports I have received since the previous
	version.
	- have better performance on the predictor algorithm.

I hope the driver will be moved from incoming to the following place
shortly on:

sunsite.unc.edu:	was in /pub/Linux/utils/compress, but might be
moved somewhere into /pub/Linux/kernel/misc-patches
tsx-11.mit.edu:		/pub/linux/ALPHA/double
