- My understanding was that .bsq denoted a file that was a file that was Squeezed
- and wrapped with Binary II, all with the old BLU. Whereas .bxy was a file
- compressed with ShrinkIt, then wrapped with Binary II.
-
- I've pulled quite a few OLD files off of GEnie with the suffix .bsq and that's
- what they ended up being: after my term program stripped Binary II off, they
- ended in .QQ
