+Compiling the package
+---------------------
+
+The driver itself is provided as patch. There are patches for both
+2.2.x and 2.4.x kernels. Apply the patch, configure the kernel,
+recompile. The 2.2.x version isn't maintained any more. The old patch
+is still there, but the latest and greatest stuff is available for 2.4.x
+only.
+
+A simple 'make' should compile the tools. After compiling you should
+have the following files:
+
+ mover - a small program for testing the driver / sending commands
+ to the changer
+ xmover - a X11 frontend for the driver -- needs Motif.
+ autojuke - a tool for using a changer with autofs.
+ unload - a even smaller program to send a eject to any SCSI device
+ load - (symlink to unload) sends a load instead of eject.
+
+man-pages for these utilities are available. Also have a look at the
+README for some general informations about scsi changers and about the
+driver.
+
+In the todo subdirectory is autojuke version with support for
+double-sided media hacked in. Drawback is that volume tag support is
+broken in this version. To be merged some day ...
+
+Have fun,
+
