Ah....  Sounds like SQHDR structure needed to be declared as a packed
structure instead of adding SQHDR_SIZE.....  I expect will see other code
issues like this as we get things cleaned up.....

Will the definition of SQHDR_SIZE work for both Unix based and MS-DOS based text?

Are you thinking of sharing a binary?

If we do, we need to bump the build number right before building the binary
for release.  Also, with the corrections we've made to squish, we probably
should bump the build number....

Take care.....
