Squash

Description
Squash is a lossless (no data is lost) file compression and floppy backup utility.  Files and folders that are compressed then decompressed with Squash end up identical to the original files and folders.  

What Squash Can Do For You

¨	Free up space on your hard disk by compressing files and folders.

¨	Help you transport files and folders bigger than the size of a floppy.

¨	Make floppy backups of folders on your hard disk.

¨	Reduce data transfer time when modeming by compressing files before transferring. 

Feature List
¨	Seamless integration with Workspace ManagerÔ & NeXTStepÔ
Files can be compressed by dropping their icons on the Squash icon. (The same interface used to recycle disk space.)  From the Workspace, files can be compressed with a single Command Key.

¨	Easy Decompression
Opening a squashed file is as easy as double-clicking the file in Workspace. Squash decompresses the file and then opens the file in the original application.

¨	Compression Speed Control
You can choose to compress files slowly and get very compressed files. Or, you can compress your files quickly and get less compressed files.

¨	Folder compression
Folders can be bundled and compressed into a single file.

¨	Easy exchange of compressed files and archives
A free application called "UnSquashOnly" is included with Squash and can be distributed with your files and archives, so that others may open your Squash documents.

¨	Floppy Backup
Folders are simultaneously compressed and backed up to floppy diskÐgreatly decreasing the number of floppies required to backup a folder. All you do is insert floppies, Squash automatically initializes new floppies.

¨	Partial Extraction
Single files and subfolders can be extracted from a squashed folder or floppy archive without having to decompress the entire folder, or without inserting all the floppies of an archive.

¨	Strategic Squeezing
Squash can find and squash old files at nightÐgiving you more disk space the next morning.

¨	Works when you want it to
Squash can be customized to only work when you are not using your computerÐputting your spare computer power to work to save you disk space.

¨	File Splitting
Large files can be split into pieces and then automatically be rejoined by double-clicking on one of the pieces.

¨	Status Panel
Estimated time to complete an operation and the percentage complete is continually updated.

¨	Multi-tasking
You can add more files to be squashed while simultaneously squashing other files.

¨	To Do List
The order in which files are processed can be modified in a "To Do List".

¨	On-line Help
The entire users manual is available on-line complete with graphics.
