This diskette contains many source files which together form
three executable programs:

SQ.COM	Squeezes files and creates a new one with similar name
	but with a Q in the second letter of the file type.

USQ.COM	Unsqueezes files created by SQ, creating an exact
	replica of the original under the original name.

FLS.COM	Produces parameter lists for SQ and USQ. Its main
	purpose is to expand wild card names, especially *.?Q?.

The overall effect is to be able to issue a single command
which will produce many squeezed or unsqueezed files from
and to various diskettes.

Squeezed files can be transmitted faster over data links
and cassette tapes and more of them can be crammed onto
a diskette. The latter is especially inportant in the case
of a distribution diskette for a large program product.

Example: Unsqueeze all squeezed ASM files on drive B and
	send the results to drive C: Also unsqueeze all
	squeezed TXT files on drive A: and send the
	results to drive D:

A>fls c: b:*.AQM d: *.TQT |usq

The above example simulates a "pipe" indicated by the "|"
by sending the "console" output of the fls.com program
to a temporary file and then running the sq.com progam
with options which cause it to read its parameters from
its "console" input, which is really redirected to come
from the temporary file.

This DOES run under plain old vanilla CP/M! Many of the smarts
are burried in the COM files in the form of library routines
provided with the BDS C package (available from Lifeboat).

You will find much more documentation in the DOC files and,
especially, in the front of the source (.C) files.

In general, these programs accept simple parameters either
on the command line or from the console (interactive mode).
Using the redirection or piping of the console input and
output streams built into these programs provides most of the
flexibility.
