ATTENTION, ALL!!! A UNIX ARC WITH THE ABILITY TO UNSQUASH FILES HAS BEEN POSTED TO alt.sources! I AM FORWARDING IT TO comp.sources.misc, SO EVERYONE CAN HAVE ACCESS TO IT. It is a "quick and dirty" hack; a "clean" version is promised soon. It also does not _create_ squashed files yet, but that itn't quite as important as the ability to extract them. -- [Copyright 1987 Brandon S.
