The following configurations are supported: - DoubleSpace / DriveSpace compressed msdos 6.x partitions (read-write), - DoubleSpace and DriveSpace 3 compressed win95 partitions (read-write with some restrictions for DriveSpace 3), - and Stacker 3 and 4 compressed partitions (read-only). This version is compatible with the 1.2.13, most 1.3.xx, pre-2.0.x and the 2.0.x kernels. It can run together with vfat or umsdos and can handle win95 long filenames itself. This version includes the new dmsdos daemon for fast write access. Support for Linux < 2.0.1 is likely to disappear soon.
