        Well, there is a bug in this release so I have released version alpha
10.1 today. In version alpha 10, when efsck corrected bad directory entries,
it didn't write changes back to the disk so corrections were not recorded 8-(

        I strongly apologize for this bug. The new release which corrects this
bug is now available for anonymous ftp from ftp-masi.ibp.fr [132.227.64.26] in
the directory pub/linux/ALPHA/extfs and should be available soon on
tsx-11.mit.edu.

        People who have already retrieved version alpha 10 can use the patch
enclosed in this mail to upgrade to alpha 10.1.

        I feel sorry for the inconvenience and I hope that this version will
FINALLY be able to correct bad directories.

        Remy
