Many of the files on this tape or diskette have been
squeezed by the data compression program SQ.COM. Names of
squeezed files have Q as the second letter of the file type.
These files can be unsqueezed individually by USQ.COM.
The file SQUEEZER.DOC (SQUEEZER.DQC if squeezed) contains a
complete tutorial on the use of these programs. It will tell
you how to unsqueeze a whole diskette with one command, and
much more, including which files combine to produce each .COM.
None of this requires extra disk drives except to get enough
space. Allow about half again the space occupied by the
squeezed files, which will not be disturbed.
For example,
A>usq b: c:squeezer.dqc
will create on drive B the abovementioned file SQUEEZER.DOC
if the squeezed version, SQUEEZER.DQC is on drive C.
If you just want to look at the first few lines, try:
A>usq -14 c:squeezer.dqc
