USQLC10.COM
The purpose of this program is to unsqueeze files created by SQ.COM,
restoring them to their original condition. Version 2.0 is a fast
C version compiled with Lattice C. It runs over 5 times as fast as the
Pascal version on most IBM boards.
You may specify as many input files on a command line as fit, the output
filename is reconstructed from the squeezed data. Output is to the
default drive and path, but the drive may be changed by including a
drive specification with no filename. Path cannot be altered.
For example (assuming you have renamed it to USQ.COM)
USQ PROG1.CQM B:PROG2.CQM B: PROG3.DQC
will unsqueeze prog1 (from the default drive) and prog2 (from drive b:)
to the default drive and prog3 to drive b:. The new files will have the
original name, most likely prog1.com, prog2.com and prog3.doc in this case.
If you already have a file by that name, it will be overwritten.
If you get a CRC error, the file has been unsqueezed, but some error has
crept in due to copying or transmission.
Make sure you have enough disk space to handle the output file which could
be over twice the size of the input file.

P.S. I'm trying to find complete source (any language) for squeeze. I would
appreciate a message on Bob Mahoney's board, 414-964-5160, if anyone knows
where to get it.
