Changes between versions 0.4b29 and 0.4b30 (released ????????????????)
======================================================================

1.	Made dump print out the ext2 logical block number in case of a read
	error, which can be given as an argument to debugfs' ncheck command,
	in order to find out the affected inode. Added note about this 
	usage in dump's man page.

2.	Fixed a problem in restore when reading tapes written on big
	endian machines with very old versions of dump. The patch was
	contributed by George Helffrich <george@geology.bristol.ac.uk>.

3.	Fixed the tape length calculation when using large tapes
	and compression. Thanks to Georg Lippold 
	<g_lippold@sourceforge.net> for reporting the bug.

4.	Added a new set of examples in dump_on_cd_2 directory, based
	on dump_on_cd examples but somewhat enhanced, supporting DVD
	media, and localized in english and german. Thanks to
	Georg Lippold <g_lippold@sourceforge.net> for the new scripts.

5.	Made dump save 32 bit UID/GID. Internally, this was achieved
	by switching from the old BSD inode format to the new BSD 
	inode format, which means that the tape format was changed.
	However, since all restore versions out there should 
	transparently support both inode formats, the change should
	have no side effects. Thanks to John Yu <jky@cs.bu.edu> for
	reporting the bug.
	
Changes between versions 0.4b28 and 0.4b29 (released June 8, 2002)
==================================================================

1.	Fixed a problem in the rmt ioctl command, where ioctl's issued from
	non Linux clients were misinterpreted. The description of the problem
	(incompatible numbering in Linux mtio opcodes) is documented at
	ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/star/README.mtio . Thanks to
