Abstract

A much-needed and effective utility, SQZ normally compresses LOTUS or SYMPHONY files to 20% their original size. I was able to place three full spreadsheet disks on one disk, with 60,000 bytes left over. SQZ has a cost-saving communications mode with which to send squeezed data over the modem. SQZ first loads into memory, then runs LOTUS. The user may turn SQZ off or on and work with squeezed or normal spreadsheets at any time. SQZ permits password protection for LO TUS 1A files. Hotline support is available. This product is especially recommended to floppy disk users, as it will pay for itself quickly.
