        I've barely remember anything about hudson frankly.
        But I do recall the *.msg, squish and Jam formats.
        By far Jam is the most efficient and less a space
        hog.  *.msg is the worst.  But squish has some
        less problems over time.  Jam can be corrupted if
        a sysop doesn't know what he is doing.  As to papers
        and such I don't know of any.

        I used squish for a decade and jam for a decade...
        Jam has its weird quirks like packing bases over
        squish but I still like Jam better.

        I have some Jam formats here but don't have any
        squish formats.

        I'd use a simple "squish format" or "jam format"
        search string and should work.

... I don't mean to alarm you but your pants are talking to you.
