- Someone should probably replace this .squfile file with a .tar.z file.
- (compressed with gzip) gzip is at least public domain, so anyone can get
- it and use it. It is also command line driven. By the way, here are the
- compression comparisons:
-
- 69929 ModPlayer_V2.5.tar.Z
- 44327 ModPlayer_V2.5.tar.squfile
- 38541 ModPlayer_V2.5.tar.z
-
- So gzip gives the maximum compression. If one is going to be forced to
- get an uncompression utility to read something from an archive, I think it
- better to have to get gzip rather than UnSquashOnly.
