SQUISH PLUS 2.01 January 7, 1991
Hard Drive Space Saving Utility Program
Written by BLUE VELVET ( Sysop of The DARK HALF BBS )
================================================================
Squish Plus 2.01 is a hard drive utility that allows a user to
vertually double ones hard drive space. A 40 Mb hard drive can
become a 80 Meg with this special utility program. It is very
much like DOUBLE DISK in that you must assign a permanent amount
of hard drive space from your existing drive to become another drive.
The reasons for choosing Squish Plus 2.01 over Double Disk is that
it handles properly with QEMM being loaded up High. Double disk
has problems working with QEMM 386. Squish Plus is easier to use
and maintain. I also find that it does wonders with any picture files
and .BMP files. Most .EXE and .COM files are compressed between
30 - 75 %. My .BMP files for WIndows 3.0 all compressed to 75% of
the original.
====================================================================
UNZIP ALL FILES INTO C:\SQUISH. It should contain the following:
AT.BAT - Batch file to assign drive Letter to squish file
MK.BAT - Batch file to create squish file
ATTACH.EXE - Program to attach drive letter (ie D:) to squish file
DETACH.EXE - Program to detach drive letter (ie D:) from Squish File
INFO.EXE - Get info about the compression/stats on Squish file
MINSIZ.EXE - Program to check for least amount of space needed for
creating a Squish file
MKDISK.EXE - Program to create a squish file ( See Mk.bat )
SQUISH2.NFO - This information file
SQPLUS.SYS - .SYS file needed in Config.sys to execute any Squish
functions
====================================================================
INSTALLATION:
1. Unzip all file to C:\SQUISH
2. Add DEVICE=C:\SQUISH\SQPLUS.SYS to your config.sys
3. Run MK.BAT
You will be asked to assign an amount of Kb you want used.
this will become drive D:. If you assign 2 Mb of Hd Space
Drive D: will become a 4 meg Drive.
4. Re-Boot your machine.
5. Run AT.BAT to assign the squish file to a drive name. It must be
what the SQPLUS.SYS assigned it to be.
6. Its all pretty easy. Set it up automatically and let QEMM 386
optimize load everything up high. CAll the DARK HALF BBS for
more info if needed.
