From: Keith Petersen <W8SDZ@mit-mc> Chuck Forsberg has updated SQ and USQ (the file SQueezer and UnSQueezer respectively) to add a test for maximum buffer size. Apparently this was what caused some people to have problems before (they must have had smaller CP/M system sizes than most people). Chuck also restored the signon credits and updated them. This should satisfy Richard Greenlaw's complaints which were expressed in a recent letter to the editor of Dr. Dobb's Journal. The files are available on MIT-MC as: AR51:CPM;SQ-17 COM AR51:CPM;USQ-20 COM and for those who cannot FTP COM files: AR13:CPM;SQ-17 HEX AR13:CPM;USQ-20 HEX The source code and other associated files are available on my RCPM system in LBR files of the same names, on the B: drive of the hard disk. These files were obtained from Chuck Forsberg's RCPM system. --Keith

From: Keith Petersen <W8SDZ@mit-mc> The new versions of SQ and USQ do allow wild cards, so FLS.COM is no longer needed. WILDEXP.C version 1.6 is used, I believe, and it contains a "safe limit" to the number of wild card filenames to be matched. This is to prevent the overflow of the names buffer into data areas. This of course means that USQ *.* on a hard disk with 500 files on it will result in processing of only the "safe limit number" of files, which I believe is 200 names. --Keith
