Hello Anthony!

I've just created new versions of MINPOS2 and MINOSQWK which rely on Squish
1.10 instead of 1.01.  Squish 1.10 is better because it has a message size
limit (according to the instructions), of 64k [Grimsley, just shut the fuck
up will you] instead of 16k.  You need MINOSQWK, and I have fixed it up to
call unzip with the proper parameter for Squish, but there is a chance that
it won't unpack your QWK packets properly (ie make a backup before you do
it).  I already have 2 workarounds if it doesn't unpack properly

1. For your offline reading, use lharc instead of zip.

2. Get rid of the "%f" in the unzip "extract" command
in compress.cfg.

Anyway, I will be sending mail to you that is greater than 16k, and squish
won't handle it if you persist with your current setup.  When it can't toss
a large message, it may rename the whole packet to *.BAD and you lose the
rest of the mail that was in that packet, I can't remember.  The short
story is that I think you should move to a "known" state.  Your
installation was haphazard instead of from the instructions.

This also applies to anyone else using Squish 1.01, with the exception that
if you have already installed from MINOSQWK, you only have to replace the
squishp.exe and get rid of "-U" in the unzip extract command in
compress.cfg. BFN.
