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,

  Gerd
