Are you sure that SQUEEZE.COM is what is needed?  When I distributed
FrOst BASIC from the disk that Ulrich Lange sent to me from Germany, it
was encoded with SHRINK, as I recall.  I have SHRINK, SCRUNCH, and DISKCOM,
but no SQUEEZE in my files.  I think "SQUEEZE" is also the name for one of
the encoding techniques used in ARC.

If there really is a disk compression program called SQUEEZE.COM, I would
like to get a copy of it just to make my files complete.

Finally, if all else fails, I could e-mail you FrOst BASIC, SHRINKed and
uuencoded, along with SHRINK (and uudecode if you need it) to decode it with.

For those who didn't see the original posting(s), FrOst BASIC is a very nice
enhanced BASIC for the older 400/800.  It is Public Domain.  There is also
an updated version for the XL/XE called Turbo BASIC, which includes a
Compiler!
