- By the way, I'm sorry to have to say that my english is rather poor,
-
- so please don't be too upset by my misuse of the language that
-
- Shakespeare used with such elegance...

- SQZ - Squeeze v1.08.3 : Jonas I Hammarberg : Overview.
- 2. Overview║
- ═══════════╝
-
- 2.1. What's SQZ?
- ────────────────
- Squeeze is a combined file compresser and archiver, like PKZip/LHArc etc.
-
- 2.2. Why SQZ?
- ─────────────
-
- But why should you use SQZ instead? ....
-
- * Better compression ratio.
-
- * Supports directories.
-
- * Support of ÅÄÖ and other obscure chars.
-
- * A much smaller archive-file.
-
- * (the chance for a coffee-break during packing) (not as long).
-
- * I, the developer, live in the country of "Honour and Heros".
- (Check out Donald Duck in the Andes (* == egg...)
-
- * Payment in SEK or US$, but preferable SEK.
-
- * Doesn't support MOVE.
- (ehh, hum, sorry, I had to include it due to reguests)
-
- * Versions (will be) developed for
-
- + Amiga
- + VAX VMS
- + UNIX / Coherent / *NIX / XENIX
- + MacIntosh
- + MS Windows
- + OS/2 HPSF
-
- * Prohibits extraction to AUX, CON and COM0..9.

- SQZ - Squeeze v1.08.3 : Jonas I Hammarberg : Getting started.
- 3. Getting started║
- ══════════════════╝
-
- 3.1. To pack a directory and its subdirectories
- ───────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- Move up a level, i.e. so that the directory will become subdirectory.
-
- SQZ A directory /SP1 directory\*.*
-
-
- Ex: To pack \DATA\AUTOGRAF
-
- + CD \DATA
- + SQZ A AUTOGRAF /SP1 AUTOGRAF\*.*
-
-
- To recreate:
-
-
- SQZ X directory directory\
-
-
- Ex: Unpack AUTOGRAF.SQZ
-
- + CD \DATA
- + SQZ X AUTOGRAF AUTOGRAF\
-
-
- 3.2. To pack a directory and expand path
- ────────────────────────────────────────
-
- SQZ A archive /SP2 \path\*.*
-
-
- Ex: Pack \DATA\AUTOGRAF
-
- + SQZ A \ARKIV\DATA_AG /SP2 \DATA\AUTOGRAF\*.*
-
-
- To recreate:
-
- SQZ X archive
-
-
- Ex: To unpack \ARKIV\DATA_AG.SQZ
-
- + SQZ X \ARKIV\DATA_AG
-
-
- 3.3. To recreate an archive in a subdirectory
- ─────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- SQZ X archive subdirectory\
-
- Ex: Recreate AUTOGRAF with \DATA\AUTOGRAF\ANNAT as base.
-
- + SQZ X AUTOGRAF \DATA\AUTOGRAF\ANNAT\
-
-
-
-
-
- SQZ.DOK, 1993-01-24 ---<3>---
- SQZ - Squeeze v1.08.3 : Jonas I Hammarberg : Getting started.
-
- 3.4. To look inside an archive
- ──────────────────────────────
-
- SQZ L archive
-
- Ex:
- + SQZ L AUTOGRAF
- + SQZ L \ARKIV\DATA_AG
-
-
- 3.5. To look for specific files
- ───────────────────────────────
-
- SQZ L archive spec1 spec2
-
- Ex:
- + SQZ L AUTOGRAF *.STP *.NLG
- + SQZ L \ARKIV\DATA_AG *.?A?
-
-
- 3.6. Check that the files are ok
- ────────────────────────────────
-
- SQZ T archive
-
- Ex:
- + SQZ T AUTOGRAF
-
-
-

- SQZ - Squeeze v1.08.3 : Jonas I Hammarberg : Commands.
- 4. Commands║
- ═══════════╝
-
- 4.1. A - Add files to an archive
- ────────────────────────────────
-
- SQZ A archive spec
-
- Adds files to given archive. If the files already exist they
- will be overwritten.
-
- To move files: SQZ AM archive spec
-
-
- 4.2. U - Updates files in an archive
- ────────────────────────────────────
-
- SQZ U archive spec
-
- Adds files to the given archive. If the files already exist
- they will be overwritten if they have an earlier date.
-
- To move files: SQZ UM archive spec
-
-
- 4.3. D - Remove files from archive
- ──────────────────────────────────
-
- SQZ D archive spec
-
- Removes given files from archive.
-
-
- 4.4. S - Create SFX
- ───────────────────
-
- Sometimes it might be useful to send just one file, and not two.
- (they might not own SQZ or have an old version or just don't
- want to give their hard-earned cash to me). Solution: Create a
- SFX (SelF eXtracting archive). The result will be an EXE-file.
- When it's executed it will start unpacking itself. Some
- commands can be used with SFX, but SFXjr just knows how to
- unpack. Both SFX and SFXjr can create directories.
-
-
- 4.5. L/V - List content of archive
- ──────────────────────────────────
-
- You can list the contents through L or V.
- L will give a shorter listing, not including path, whereas V
- will display the whole path. LB will give you an even shorter
- listing, just including date, size and path.
-
-
- 4.6. T - Test the content of archive
- ────────────────────────────────────
-
- Sometimes it might be a lousy day when you shouldn't have
- stepped out of bed and everything goes wrong, eg. phone lines
- and floppies. Therefore you have the possibility to test for
- errors in your archive, but there's a catch (there always is
- one!) ... the CRC-check might pass, unlikely, but...
-
- SQZ.DOK, 1993-01-24 ---<5>---
- SQZ - Squeeze v1.08.3 : Jonas I Hammarberg : Commands.
-
- 4.7. E/X - Recreate files from archive
- ──────────────────────────────────────
-
- You can recreate with path or without. E ignores stored path
- information but X will recreate the whole path. Both understand
- base-path, i.e. placing the files in a another directory.
- Default is current working directory (CWD).
-
-
- 4.8. P - Display file
- ─────────────────────
-
- Prints a file in the archive to standard output.
- - SQZ P archive spec
-
-
- 4.9. C - Comment archive
- ────────────────────────
-
- Gives you the possibility to add a comment describing the content
- of this specific archive, or just some ads. The comment will be
- displayed when Listing/Extracting.
-
- - SQZ C archive commentfile to read from file
-
- - SQZ C archive CON to read from stdin
- Remember to terminate your
- comment with ^Z (ctrl-Z).

- SQZ - Squeeze v1.08.3 : Jonas I Hammarberg : Switches.
- 5. Switches║
- ═══════════╝
-
- N.B! Both '-' and '/' can be used as leading char for switches.
- Are '/' used then must '\' be uses as seperator in path, eg:
- sqz a a /sp1z01 a\*.*
- sqz a a -sp1z01 a/*.*
-
- All switches can be grouped together, depending on their arguments.
-
- Ex: /s /p1 /z0 /z1 /x*.BAK /x*.$$$ --> /sp1z01x*.BAK /x*.$$$
-
-
- 5.1. /s Include subdirectory
- ────────────────────────────
- /s Include sub-directories during file scanning. Directories
- will be included even if the given files-specification
- doesn't give any match.
-
- /S Will store the name and attribute of sub-directories in the
- archive. Can be used to recreate empty sub-directories.
-
-
- 5.2. /p How to store path
- ─────────────────────────
- /p 0 - As given
- DATA\PAS\T.INF --> DATA\PAS\T.INF
-
- 1 - Skip first directory
- DATA\PAS\T.INF --> PAS\T.INF
- Useful if you wish to store a complete directory with
- sub-directories, while the base directory won't be saved
- until you have some more bytes ($crooge).
-
- The example would be called DATA.sqz containing
- PAS\T.INF instead of XXXXX.SQZ containing
- DATA\PAS\T.INF.
-
- 2 - Expand from root
- DATA\PAS\T.INF --> \DIV\DATA\PAS\T.INF
-
- 3 - Only name, no path.
- DATA\PAS\T.INF --> T.INF
-
-
- 5.3. /d Date selection
- ──────────────────────
- da Date after YYMMDDHHMMSS
- From YYMMDDHHMMSS and onwards.
- If not completely specified zeros will be appended.
- 920402 --> 920402000000
- db Date before YYMMDDHHMMSS
- Before the specified date, otherwise as above.
-

-
- SQZ.DOK, 1993-01-24 ---<7>---
- SQZ - Squeeze v1.08.3 : Jonas I Hammarberg : Switches.
-
- 5.4. /a File attributes during selection
- ────────────────────────────────────────
- a Archive flag - set by DOS when a file is written to. This
- flag gives you a easy way just to include those files that
- have been changed since last pack/back-up.
-
- a1 Include only those with A flag set, i.e. changed ones.
- a? Don't care about its state, include it either-way.
- a0 Include only those with A flag not set, i.e. unchanged ones.
- a 1 Force it high after packing.
- a = Leave it unchanged in its previous state.
- a 0 Drop it, so that it will be raised when next updated.
-
- a10 Include files with flag high and drop it afterwards.
- a?0 Ignore when including, but clear it afterwards.
-
-
- 5.5. /o Overwrite when unpacking
- ────────────────────────────────
- o Overwrite
- Overwrite files during unpacking.
- o0 Only older files.
- o1 Always overwrite.
- o2 Prompt first.
-
-
- 5.6. /x Files to exclude during packing
- ───────────────────────────────────────
- x Exclude
- Don't include the following file(s).
-
- /xGAMMAL.FIL /x*.BAK
-
- Don't include GAMMAL.FIL, or any file with the extension .BAK
-
- Handles file redirection, i.e. @fil
-
-
- 5.7. /c Copy versus squeezing
- ─────────────────────────────
- c Copy files with the following extensions. Sometimes the
- result is not worth the time it takes to squeeze files that
- already are compressed. eeh... I just wish to state that
- SQZ will be able to squeeze some more bytes from the most
- other archives.
-
- As default the following files will be copied;
- .ARC .ARJ .LZH .PAK .SQZ .ZIP .ZOO
-
- If this option is used you must include all extensions, i.e.
- it will not add to its existing list, just replace it.
-
- /c.GIF -> Copy only *.GIF, but squeeze *.ARC etc.
-
- Don't know how to handle file redirection.
-

-
- SQZ.DOK, 1993-01-24 ---<8>---
- SQZ - Squeeze v1.08.3 : Jonas I Hammarberg : Switches.
-
- 5.8. /q Speed versus squeezing
- ──────────────────────────────
- q Speed: The higher speed the less compressing will occur
- (mostly) /q0../q9 och /q∞ (ASCII 236d)
-
- /q0 are slower than /q9 but will compress better.
-
- Default: /q5.
- N.B. /q∞ WILL take it's time... Zzzzzzzzz....
- To gain even higher speed use the uppercase version, i.e.
- /Q5 are faster than /q5.
-
- Fast: SQZ A ARCHIVE FILES
- Faster: SQZ A /Q5 ARCHIVE FILES
- Even faster: SQZ A /q9 ARCHIVE FILES
- Fastest: SQZ A /Q9 ARCHIVE FILES
-
-
- 5.9. /m Method for squeezing
- ────────────────────────────
- m 0 - Copy, see /c above
- 1 - Squeezing using method 1
- 2 - "- method 2, often better, but...
- 3 - Even better...
- 4 - Even better yet, mostly...
-
- Default: /m4
-
-
- 5.10. /z Miscellaneous
- ──────────────────────
- z 0 - How long time did it take?
- 1 - Only total.
- 2 - Use SFXJR.exe, not SFX.exe
- 3 - Better compression ratio for docs.
- 4 - Move files. Combine with command Add and Update
- 5 - Brief listing.
-
- Can be combined: /z0 /z1 /z2 == /z0z1z2 == z012

-
- 5.11. @ File-list
- ─────────────────
- @ file-name
-
- The files to pack are often the same and therefor are there
- the possibility of creating a "list of files". This file
- includes all files, one per row.
-
-
- SQZ A test t1.c t2.c ef.c k*.c <--> SQZ test @fil.lst
-
- if the content is
-
- t1.c
- t2.c
- ef.c
- k*.c
-
- List of file can be used whenever a file-specification can
- be given, but it can not be used as input for
- archive-specification.
-
- SQZ A test @fil.lst ok
- SQZ A /xskip.lst test @fil.lst ok
- SQZ L @arkiv.lst *.c Erroneous.
- SQZ L * *.c ok, list all *.c in all
- archives that exists.

- SQZ - Squeeze v1.08.3 : Jonas I Hammarberg : Future plans.
- 6. Future plans║
- ═══════════════╝
-
- * More assembler
-
- * Shrink SFX/SFXjr (22 and 16kB are just too MUCH)
-
- * Just don't return to DOS when there's an error.
-
- * Change Huffman encoding for another encoding method.
- This other one is a little more effective but needs more gas.
-
- * Support more operating-/file-systems
-
- * For the moment each SQZ only supports its native format, so why
- not an extended SQZ that understands all of them?
-
- * Specific method for different types of files.
- Packing voice/noise is different from packing graphics etc.
-
- * Exploit 286/386/486(/586), not just 8086.
-
- * Improved documentation.

- SQZ - Squeeze v1.08.3 : Jonas I Hammarberg : BAT-files.
- 7. BAT-files║
- ════════════╝
-
- 7.1. U.BAT
- ──────────
- Save new files, should be run once each day. All new
- files/changed ones in given directory will be saved in
- REV\YYMMDD, including sub-directories. The archive will be
- call by the name of the given directory.
-
- Ex.: If DATE=920508 and you enter U SQZ and are in \DEV\C then
- \DEV\C\REV\920508\SQZ.SQZ will be created.
-
- Needs: Environment variable DATE must exist. It gives the date of
- the files to include and also in which REV directory the
- archive will be placed.
-
- Result: If no REV directory exists it will be created. If no
- %DATE% directory exists it will be created. The archive
- will be placed in this directory.
-
- I've written a small program which takes the date and places it
- in the environment variable DATE. Source and exe included.
- N.B! The program uses the method given by ENVEDT from
- "Undocumented DOS" Schulman et al. As some composer said:
-
- «Mediocre composers borrow ... Great composers steal»
-
-
- 7.2. Q.BAT/QD.BAT
- ─────────────────
- Will pack a whole directory tree and create an archive with the
- same name.
-
- QD.bat tests the archive before removing the directory.
- Removing of the directories are accomplished with the usage of
- Norton Utilities NCD. That command can of course be changed.
-
- 7.3. X.BAT
- ──────────
- Unpacks archives created with Q.BAT/QD.BAT

- SQZ - Squeeze v1.08.3 : Jonas I Hammarberg : Other programs.
- 8. Other programs║
- ═════════════════╝
-
- 8.1. Overview
- ─────────────
- All programs mentioned below either supports SQZ, or, are such a
- nice utitlites that I included them anyway.
-
- SHROOM are for those of you who often starts a program and shells
- out to DOS, just to run into the memory wall. Instead of starting
- your program as normal, let SHROOM do it. See below.
-
- Ex: HLE SQZ.C SQZ.H --> SHROOM HLE SQZ.C SQZ.H
-
-
- GUS and SPAZ are replacements for your unpacker, i.e. instead of
- having to enter "SQZ X ARCHIVE1" for .SQZ and "LHA X ARCHIVE2" for
- .LZH, you'll just enter "GUS ARCHIVE1"/"GUS ARCHIVE2" or "SPAX
- ARCHIVE1"/"SPAZ ARCHIVE2". Which one to use?. I uses none of them,
- but then I'm not the normal user. GUS is ShareWare from Holland,
- SPAZ is FreeWare from U.S of A.
-
-
- MTA is a translator from one archive format to another one. It will
- handle most of different formats, including GIF's.
- MTA are most useful for BBS's and they who have all different
- formats but only wishes to use one, SQZ for an example.
-
-
- VA are a replacement for DIR. It'll let you peek into a archive as
- easy as that. Understands most of the formats used.
-
-
- 8.2. GUS - General Unpack Shell
- ───────────────────────────────
- A substitute for your unarchiver when there are files compressed
- with different archives and presents a common method of handling

- 8.5. SHROOM - Shell room
- ────────────────────────
- SHROOM is a utility that gives a DOS application's shells more room.
- It does this by intercepting the shell operation, swapping out the
- application program, freeing up the memory, and then performing the
- shell operation. It also intercepts the exit from the shell, so
- that it can swap the application back in before returning to it.
- The program is none the wiser.
-
- SHROOM: Shell Room Utility v1.8g (14sep91).
- Copyright (C) Davis Augustine 1990, 1991. All rights reserved.
-
- Usage: shroom [-?hLnpqv] [-e #] [-s path] [-t targets] [-z #] prog [args]
- -?h : print this help message
- -L : display shareware license
- -n : display program notes (more detailed help)
- -p : proceed (without asking) with partial swap if disk full
- -q : quiet mode - display error messages only
- -v : verbose mode - provide running commentary
- -e # : set ERRORLEVEL returned if unable to load prog (default = 254)
- -s path : specify DRIVE:DIR in which to create swap file
- -t targs : specify which shell programs cause swapping
- -z # : specify environment size for COMMAND.COM
- prog : application program to execute

- 8.6. SPAZ - Smart Pak, Arc and Zoo shell
- ────────────────────────────────────────
- A substitute for your unarchiver when there are files compressed
- with different archives and presents a common method of handling
- them.
-
- SPAZ 1.61; By Dan Thomson, Andrew Farmer, Jeffrey Nonken, and Joe Jared.
- Copyright (c) 1989-1992 Dan Thomson & Andrew Farmer. All Rights Reserved.
-
- Syntax/Usage: SPAZ [switches] Path\Archive [switches] [files....]
- Square brackets indicate optionals. Switches are set with - or /.
-
- Switches:
-
- -A Will use ONLY "XARC" on standard (ARC Style) archives.
- -D Will delete the archive if the extract was successful.
- -F Will process all Compressed Mail bundles found in Dir.
- -Maddr Will calculate Compressed Mail bundle name to show the
- sending Net Address. "addr" is YOUR Net/Node address.
- -N Will NOT attempt to sort the archive prior to extract.
- -O|-R Overwrite. Will NOT prompt if existing file is found.
- -V Verbose Mode. Will display the runtime configuration.
-
- If -F is used then "Archive" MUST be a Path ONLY, not a Filename.
- Use of -F forces -D and -O to be set TRUE and -N to be set False.
