- Many of the files on this tape or diskette have been
- squeezed by the data compression program SQ.COM. Names of
- squeezed files have Q as the second letter of the file type.
- These files can be unsqueezed individually by USQ.COM.
-
- The file SQUEEZER.DOC (SQUEEZER.DQC if squeezed) contains a
- complete tutorial on the use of these programs. It will tell
- you how to unsqueeze a whole diskette with one command, and
- much more, including which files combine to produce each .COM.
-
- None of this requires extra disk drives except to get enough
- space. Allow about half again the space occupied by the
- squeezed files, which will not be disturbed.
-
- For example,
- A>usq b: c:squeezer.dqc
- will create on drive B the abovementioned file SQUEEZER.DOC
- if the squeezed version, SQUEEZER.DQC is on drive C.
-
- If you just want to look at the first few lines, try:
- A>usq -14 c:squeezer.dqc
