The "conventional" utils are not compatible with Linux. I believe there is a utility to allow Linux to read DoubleSpaced systems. Linux has a filesystem-independent on-the-fly compression for Linux called DouBle, that incidentally, I am writing the documentation for :-) Check it out at http://homepage.midusa.net/~jgoerzen/DouBle -- John Goerzen | System administrator & owner, The Communications Custom programming | Centre and Complete Network (complete.org) [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Free Unix shell access, 316-367-8490 w/ your modem.
