SQ-BRIEF.INF 11/11/83 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.
