SQZ -- Squeeze It!


version 1.08.3









By the way, I'm sorry to have to say that my english is rather poor,

so please don't be too upset by my misuse of the language that

Shakespeare used with such elegance...

SQZ - Squeeze v1.08.3 : Jonas I Hammarberg : Overview.
2. Overviewº
ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍͼ

2.1. What's SQZ?
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
Squeeze is a combined file compresser and archiver, like PKZip/LHArc etc.

2.2. Why SQZ?
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ

But why should you use SQZ instead? ....

* Better compression ratio.

* Supports directories.

* Support of Ž™ and other obscure chars.

* A much smaller archive-file.

* (the chance for a coffee-break during packing) (not as long).

* I, the developer, live in the country of "Honour and Heros".
(Check out Donald Duck in the Andes (* == egg...)

* Payment in SEK or US$, but preferable SEK.

* Doesn't support MOVE.
(ehh, hum, sorry, I had to include it due to reguests)

* Versions (will be) developed for

+ Amiga
+ VAX VMS
+ UNIX / Coherent / *NIX / XENIX
+ MacIntosh
+ MS Windows
+ OS/2 HPSF

* Prohibits extraction to AUX, CON and COM0..9.

3. Getting startedº
ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍͼ

3.1. To pack a directory and its subdirectories
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ

Move up a level, i.e. so that the directory will become subdirectory.

SQZ A directory /SP1 directory\*.*


Ex: To pack \DATA\AUTOGRAF

+ CD \DATA
+ SQZ A AUTOGRAF /SP1 AUTOGRAF\*.*


To recreate:


SQZ X directory directory\


Ex: Unpack AUTOGRAF.SQZ

+ CD \DATA
+ SQZ X AUTOGRAF AUTOGRAF\


3.2. To pack a directory and expand path
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ

SQZ A archive /SP2 \path\*.*


Ex: Pack \DATA\AUTOGRAF

+ SQZ A \ARKIV\DATA_AG /SP2 \DATA\AUTOGRAF\*.*


To recreate:

SQZ - Squeeze v1.08.3 : Jonas I Hammarberg : Commands.
4. Commandsº
ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍͼ

4.1. A - Add files to an archive
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ

SQZ A archive spec

Adds files to given archive. If the files already exist they
will be overwritten.

To move files: SQZ AM archive spec


4.2. U - Updates files in an archive
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ

SQZ U archive spec

Adds files to the given archive. If the files already exist
they will be overwritten if they have an earlier date.

To move files: SQZ UM archive spec


4.3. D - Remove files from archive
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ

SQZ D archive spec

Removes given files from archive.


4.4. S - Create SFX
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ

Sometimes it might be useful to send just one file, and not two.
(they might not own SQZ or have an old version or just don't
want to give their hard-earned cash to me). Solution: Create a
SFX (SelF eXtracting archive). The result will be an EXE-file.
When it's executed it will start unpacking itself. Some
commands can be used with SFX, but SFXjr just knows how to
unpack. Both SFX and SFXjr can create directories.


4.5. L/V - List content of archive
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ

You can list the contents through L or V.
L will give a shorter listing, not including path, whereas V
will display the whole path. LB will give you an even shorter
listing, just including date, size and path.


4.6. T - Test the content of archive
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ

Sometimes it might be a lousy day when you shouldn't have
stepped out of bed and everything goes wrong, eg. phone lines
and floppies. Therefore you have the possibility to test for
errors in your archive, but there's a catch (there always is
one!) ... the CRC-check might pass, unlikely, but...

SQZ.DOK, 1993-01-24 ---<5>---
SQZ - Squeeze v1.08.3 : Jonas I Hammarberg : Commands.

4.7. E/X - Recreate files from archive
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ

You can recreate with path or without. E ignores stored path
information but X will recreate the whole path. Both understand
base-path, i.e. placing the files in a another directory.
Default is current working directory (CWD).


4.8. P - Display file
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ

Prints a file in the archive to standard output.
- SQZ P archive spec


4.9. C - Comment archive
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ

Gives you the possibility to add a comment describing the content
of this specific archive, or just some ads. The comment will be
displayed when Listing/Extracting.

- SQZ C archive commentfile to read from file

- SQZ C archive CON to read from stdin
Remember to terminate your
comment with ^Z (ctrl-Z).

SQZ - Squeeze v1.08.3 : Jonas I Hammarberg : Switches.
5. Switchesº
ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍͼ

N.B! Both '-' and '/' can be used as leading char for switches.
Are '/' used then must '\' be uses as seperator in path, eg:
sqz a a /sp1z01 a\*.*
sqz a a -sp1z01 a/*.*

All switches can be grouped together, depending on their arguments.

Ex: /s /p1 /z0 /z1 /x*.BAK /x*.$$$ --> /sp1z01x*.BAK /x*.$$$


5.1. /s Include subdirectory
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
/s Include sub-directories during file scanning. Directories
will be included even if the given files-specification
doesn't give any match.

/S Will store the name and attribute of sub-directories in the
archive. Can be used to recreate empty sub-directories.


5.2. /p How to store path
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
/p 0 - As given
DATA\PAS\T.INF --> DATA\PAS\T.INF

1 - Skip first directory
DATA\PAS\T.INF --> PAS\T.INF
Useful if you wish to store a complete directory with
sub-directories, while the base directory won't be saved
until you have some more bytes ($crooge).

The example would be called DATA.sqz containing
PAS\T.INF instead of XXXXX.SQZ containing
DATA\PAS\T.INF.

2 - Expand from root
DATA\PAS\T.INF --> \DIV\DATA\PAS\T.INF

3 - Only name, no path.
DATA\PAS\T.INF --> T.INF



5.3. /d Date selection
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
da Date after YYMMDDHHMMSS
From YYMMDDHHMMSS and onwards.
If not completely specified zeros will be appended.
920402 --> 920402000000
db Date before YYMMDDHHMMSS
Before the specified date, otherwise as above.










SQZ.DOK, 1993-01-24 ---<7>---
SQZ - Squeeze v1.08.3 : Jonas I Hammarberg : Switches.

5.4. /a File attributes during selection
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
a Archive flag - set by DOS when a file is written to. This
flag gives you a easy way just to include those files that
have been changed since last pack/back-up.

a1 Include only those with A flag set, i.e. changed ones.
a? Don't care about its state, include it either-way.
a0 Include only those with A flag not set, i.e. unchanged ones.
a 1 Force it high after packing.
a = Leave it unchanged in its previous state.
a 0 Drop it, so that it will be raised when next updated.

a10 Include files with flag high and drop it afterwards.
a?0 Ignore when including, but clear it afterwards.


5.5. /o Overwrite when unpacking
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
o Overwrite
Overwrite files during unpacking.
o0 Only older files.
o1 Always overwrite.
o2 Prompt first.


5.6. /x Files to exclude during packing
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
x Exclude
Don't include the following file(s).

/xGAMMAL.FIL /x*.BAK

Don't include GAMMAL.FIL, or any file with the extension .BAK

Handles file redirection, i.e. @fil


5.7. /c Copy versus squeezing
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
c Copy files with the following extensions. Sometimes the
result is not worth the time it takes to squeeze files that
already are compressed. eeh... I just wish to state that
SQZ will be able to squeeze some more bytes from the most
other archives.

As default the following files will be copied;
.ARC .ARJ .LZH .PAK .SQZ .ZIP .ZOO

If this option is used you must include all extensions, i.e.
it will not add to its existing list, just replace it.

/c.GIF -> Copy only *.GIF, but squeeze *.ARC etc.

Don't know how to handle file redirection.







SQZ.DOK, 1993-01-24 ---<8>---
SQZ - Squeeze v1.08.3 : Jonas I Hammarberg : Switches.

5.8. /q Speed versus squeezing
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
q Speed: The higher speed the less compressing will occur
(mostly) /q0../q9 och /qì (ASCII 236d)

/q0 are slower than /q9 but will compress better.

Default: /q5.
N.B. /qì WILL take it's time... Zzzzzzzzz....
To gain even higher speed use the uppercase version, i.e.
/Q5 are faster than /q5.

Fast: SQZ A ARCHIVE FILES
Faster: SQZ A /Q5 ARCHIVE FILES
Even faster: SQZ A /q9 ARCHIVE FILES
Fastest: SQZ A /Q9 ARCHIVE FILES


5.9. /m Method for squeezing
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
m 0 - Copy, see /c above
1 - Squeezing using method 1
2 - "- method 2, often better, but...
3 - Even better...
4 - Even better yet, mostly...

Default: /m4


5.10. /z Miscellaneous
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
z 0 - How long time did it take?
1 - Only total.
2 - Use SFXJR.exe, not SFX.exe
3 - Better compression ratio for docs.
4 - Move files. Combine with command Add and Update
5 - Brief listing.

Can be combined: /z0 /z1 /z2 == /z0z1z2 == z012























SQZ.DOK, 1993-01-24 ---<9>---
SQZ - Squeeze v1.08.3 : Jonas I Hammarberg : Switches.

5.11. @ File-list
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
@ file-name

The files to pack are often the same and therefor are there
the possibility of creating a "list of files". This file
includes all files, one per row.


SQZ A test t1.c t2.c ef.c k*.c <--> SQZ test @fil.lst

if the content is

t1.c
t2.c
ef.c
k*.c

List of file can be used whenever a file-specification can
be given, but it can not be used as input for
archive-specification.

SQZ A test @fil.lst ok
SQZ A /xskip.lst test @fil.lst ok
SQZ L @arkiv.lst *.c Erroneous.
SQZ L * *.c ok, list all *.c in all
archives that exists.

SQZ - Squeeze v1.08.3 : Jonas I Hammarberg : Future plans.
6. Future plansº
ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍͼ

* More assembler

* Shrink SFX/SFXjr (22 and 16kB are just too MUCH)

* Just don't return to DOS when there's an error.

* Change Huffman encoding for another encoding method.
This other one is a little more effective but needs more gas.

* Support more operating-/file-systems

* For the moment each SQZ only supports its native format, so why
not an extended SQZ that understands all of them?

* Specific method for different types of files.
Packing voice/noise is different from packing graphics etc.

* Exploit 286/386/486(/586), not just 8086.

* Improved documentation.

SQZ - Squeeze v1.08.3 : Jonas I Hammarberg : BAT-files.
7. BAT-filesº
ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍͼ

7.1. U.BAT
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
Save new files, should be run once each day. All new
files/changed ones in given directory will be saved in
REV\YYMMDD, including sub-directories. The archive will be
call by the name of the given directory.

Ex.: If DATE=920508 and you enter U SQZ and are in \DEV\C then
\DEV\C\REV\920508\SQZ.SQZ will be created.

Needs: Environment variable DATE must exist. It gives the date of
the files to include and also in which REV directory the
archive will be placed.

Result: If no REV directory exists it will be created. If no
%DATE% directory exists it will be created. The archive
will be placed in this directory.

I've written a small program which takes the date and places it
in the environment variable DATE. Source and exe included.
N.B! The program uses the method given by ENVEDT from
"Undocumented DOS" Schulman et al. As some composer said:

®Mediocre composers borrow ... Great composers steal¯


7.2. Q.BAT/QD.BAT
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
Will pack a whole directory tree and create an archive with the
same name.

QD.bat tests the archive before removing the directory.
Removing of the directories are accomplished with the usage of
Norton Utilities NCD. That command can of course be changed.

7.3. X.BAT
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
Unpacks archives created with Q.BAT/QD.BAT

8. Other programsº
ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍͼ

8.1. Overview
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
All programs mentioned below either supports SQZ, or, are such a
nice utitlites that I included them anyway.

SHROOM are for those of you who often starts a program and shells
out to DOS, just to run into the memory wall. Instead of starting
your program as normal, let SHROOM do it. See below.

Ex: HLE SQZ.C SQZ.H --> SHROOM HLE SQZ.C SQZ.H


GUS and SPAZ are replacements for your unpacker, i.e. instead of
having to enter "SQZ X ARCHIVE1" for .SQZ and "LHA X ARCHIVE2" for
.LZH, you'll just enter "GUS ARCHIVE1"/"GUS ARCHIVE2" or "SPAX
ARCHIVE1"/"SPAZ ARCHIVE2". Which one to use?. I uses none of them,
but then I'm not the normal user. GUS is ShareWare from Holland,
SPAZ is FreeWare from U.S of A.


MTA is a translator from one archive format to another one. It will
handle most of different formats, including GIF's.
MTA are most useful for BBS's and they who have all different
formats but only wishes to use one, SQZ for an example.


VA are a replacement for DIR. It'll let you peek into a archive as
easy as that. Understands most of the formats used.


8.2. GUS - General Unpack Shell
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
A substitute for your unarchiver when there are files compressed
with different archives and presents a common method of handling
them.

ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
MTA is a conversion utility to convert almost any archive and/or GIF
to another format. It contains special support for BBS's, exits,
doors and such. Also you can check for virus inside the archives
while you convert. Add-on utilities included !! 15.20 is a major
release with support for many new things !

8.5. SHROOM - Shell room
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
SHROOM is a utility that gives a DOS application's shells more room.
It does this by intercepting the shell operation, swapping out the
application program, freeing up the memory, and then performing the
shell operation. It also intercepts the exit from the shell, so
that it can swap the application back in before returning to it.
The program is none the wiser.

8.6. SPAZ - Smart Pak, Arc and Zoo shell
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
A substitute for your unarchiver when there are files compressed
with different archives and presents a common method of handling
them.

SPAZ 1.61; By Dan Thomson, Andrew Farmer, Jeffrey Nonken, and Joe Jared.
Copyright (c) 1989-1992 Dan Thomson & Andrew Farmer. All Rights Reserved.

Syntax/Usage: SPAZ [switches] Path\Archive [switches] [files....]
Square brackets indicate optionals. Switches are set with - or /.

Switches:

-A Will use ONLY "XARC" on standard (ARC Style) archives.
-D Will delete the archive if the extract was successful.
-F Will process all Compressed Mail bundles found in Dir.
-Maddr Will calculate Compressed Mail bundle name to show the
sending Net Address. "addr" is YOUR Net/Node address.
-N Will NOT attempt to sort the archive prior to extract.
-O|-R Overwrite. Will NOT prompt if existing file is found.
-V Verbose Mode. Will display the runtime configuration.

If -F is used then "Archive" MUST be a Path ONLY, not a Filename.
Use of -F forces -D and -O to be set TRUE and -N to be set False.
