If I understand what I have heard recently, there is a program out there called
TIMES TWO or something which functions to double disk capacity, but not in
the normal comprression methods.  Now, I am not a technical wizard
(Far from it), but this sounds tough to believe.  IT seems to me they are
saying something like the program fools the disks into believeing
they are twice the size?  The confusing thing for me is that I seem to 
remember them saying that one could compress a disk like this, and that
somebody else could read the disk w/o the program?  Can somebody
give me some more info on this, especially if you have tried it out.
SOunds like pure hocus-pocus to me.
