Very  minor upgrade,  with new PackDev version and  other fixes.  Plus
revised docs and stuff.(this upload includes the required Packdev doc)

DiskSqueeze is a combination of several tools that combine  the  power
of  the  LZX compression algorithm with the flexibility of the PackDev
disk-imager. All necessary software is present in this archive, except
the LZX program (see Aminet: util/arc).

Those not interested in  another  disk-compression  program  as  such,
might  take  a  look at the very useful utilities included here.

Features:

- DMS-archives (any version) transparantly handled
- DMS-archives can be automatically converted to DiskSqueeze-archives
- no memory (or disk) required to handle DMS-archives
- buggy DMS executable not needed to handle DMS-archives
- DiskSqueeze-archive TEST option
- File_ID.DIZ option
- using assembler-tools for extra speed (thanks Jorma!)
- ALWAYS better compression ratio (3% upto 35%) than DMS or any XPK
- faster compression for registered LZX users (upto 30%)
- Amiga, Macintosh and M$-Dos disks supported (see below)
- DSQ-archives include filelist (for valid filesystem devices)
- fully multitasking + OS compliant (no alien libraries required)
- easy, mouse-driven ASL user-interface
- smart memory-usage monitoring + full error-handling
- extensive (and interesting!) AmigaGuide documentation
- flexible installing (using the 'Installer'-tool)
- nice MagicWB icons  :-)
- *free* registering for help/updates/tools/gossip/...

Devices supported:

- trackdisk.device + clones (mfm.-, diskspare.-, floppy.device)
- ramdrive .device + clones (statram.-, (asdg.)vdisk.device)
- fmsdisk  .device (any version)

MINIMUM configuration (ZZzzz...)

- OS 2.04
- M68000
- 1 MB RAM
- LZX v1.20e

RECOMMENDED configuration:
- OS 3.x
- M68020+
- 2 MB RAM (4 MB is optimal)
- a harddisk (at least 1 MEG free for temporary storage)
  (but you can forget the harddisk if you got enough RAM)
- LZX v1.21r (only for faster compression)

PS: Big hello to the Fortress guys.
