SQ.COM -
The purpose of this program is to squeeze all types of files. It is
most effective on text files and least effective on binary files such
as .EXE and .COM.
The output file name is changed so that the middle letter in the
filetype is changed to a "Q". For example, a file called ABC.TXT
would be called ABC.TQT. The input file is not changed.
To run the squeezer:
SQ filename.filetype (i.e. SQ ABC.TXT)
There are no messages displayed while the program is running. Make sure
you have enough disk space to handle the output file (which can be 5% to
50% smaller than the original depending on the type of file).
