I just received it last week, and (IMHO) it is truly the best (feature-full) data compression and floppy disk backup utility I have ever seen (including what I have seen for PC's). It is completely integrated with NeXTstep and WSM, and even includes an API! People I support have been screaming for something like this, and now they can do their own backups (truly brainless interface - automatic or manual drag and drop). It even will scan and compress 'old' files (selectable by the user) and its smart enough to look at the screen dim and only work in the background (if requested, of course). Agog can be reached at (517) 627-2186 or squash@agog.com jim ------------------------------------------------------- James L. Mynatt Systems Engineer NeXT Computer, Inc.

I'll endorse Squash also. It works smoothly and pleasantly, and doesn't even cost too much. Next Connection carries it, too.
