- RE: USQ-20 USQ119 UNSQ12
-
- Some CP/M files are stored in a "compressed" format to save disk
- storage space, and to save time when copying or transmitting them via
- telephone. They are typically 30 to 40% smaller than the expanded
- format which is usable under CP/M.
-
- The compressed files are NOT usable.
-
- Names of squeezed files have Q as the 2nd letter of the file type.
- These files can be unsqueezed individually by USQ.COM.
-
- The USQ process restores the original file name; it is saved
- within the compressed file, and the original name NEED NOT be specified
- when unsqueezing.
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
- To "unsqueeze" a file use USQ.COM as follows:
-
- USQ filename.typ <CR>
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Only files with the "Q" as the second letter can be unsqueezed.
-
- Be sure to allow enough room for the unsqueezed file on your disk
- as the original squeezed file is NOT erased during unsqueezing.
