%d More Fido/FidoNet antiques. Before ARC there was LU and SQ/USQ. LU (and its predecessor, LAR) is a program that packs multiple files into one "library" file; it does not compress. It's default filename extention is .LBR. I wrote a popular LU utility, hacking away from a terrible Unix source. It had many offshoots. I no longer have a copy of it or it's source. Drats. SQ/USQ are file squeezers/ unsqueezers -- data compression. Instead of a fixed filename type, it replaced the middle character of the filename with the letter 'Q'; ie. FIDO.EXE compressed with SQ was FIDO.EQE. USQ would uncompress it back to FIDO.EXE. (Thom Henderson's ARC was the first to both compress and archive -- look at all the trouble he started.) I do not know what the first Fido version available was. I know v1 was never released. I have no dox before version 8. I would greatly appreciate uploads -- or original Fido Software-printed copies (color covers). Trade? Reimburse? If you have a Fido/FidoNet version 5 binary distribution to go with the sources, I'd appreciate an upload... Any and all related uploads always appreciated...
