The Almond Doubler

The Almond Doubler for UNIX provides transparent, on-the-fly data compression and expansion, yielding on average twice the usable space on a hard disk drive. Files can be compressed manually, or automatically based on user-definable criteria such as file size, age, compression savings, etc. When a compressed file is accessed, it is automatically expanded without intervention by the user. The Almond Doubler uses the proven and reliable STAC LZS compression algorithm. No modifications to the UNIX kernel or file systems are made, and no drivers are installed.
