[ this is becoming irritating... ]

phd-thesis writers (et al):  i found a bug in doublespace.sty which
itroduced unwanted blank space.

	-ian

here is a repaired version. (not tested under NFSS)

% LaTeX Document style option "doublespace"
% -- usage:  \documentstyle[...,doublespace,...]{...}
%
% This style option produces a double-spaced document by redefining
% the LaTeX parameter \baselinestretch to 2.
%
% It also fixes a number of problems with standard LaTeX, as follows:
%
% 1. A new environment "singlespace" is provided, within which single
%    spacing will apply.
%    JFL - changed so that it works in regular text and so that vertical
%    space is before and after is correctly computed
% 2. Double spacing is turned off within footnotes and floats (figures
%    and tables).
% 3. Proper double spacing happens below tabular environments and in other
%    places where LaTeX uses a strut.
% 4. Slightly more space is inserted before footnotes.
% 5. JFL - fixes spacing before and after displayed math
% 6. MAR - fix to work with new font selection scheme if used
%
% Note: This version sets a baselinestretch of 2. If this is too much,
%    put  \setstretch{1.7}  (or some appropriate value) before the
%    \begin{document} command. To print the document with single spacing
%    again, without removing "singlespace" environments, just put a
%    \setstretch{1} at the top of the document.

% Release date: 6 July 1986 - September 3, 1986
%
% Known bugs:
%    . It might be nice if spacing before the footnote rule (\footins)
%      were provided in a tidier way.
%    . Increasing struts may possibly cause some other obscure part of
%      formatting to fall over.
%    . \begin{singlespace}\begin{quote} produces the wrong spacing before
%      the quote (extra glue is inserted), use \begin{quote}\begin{singlespace}
%    . shouldn't @setsize stretch parskip as well?

%---Stretch the baseline BEFORE calculating the strut size. This improves
