Thanks for the kind words Larry! DC Squish has been improved even further! Including a better SQUISH! But, I can't believe you forgot to mention that DC SQUISH also makes programs load faster for TOS 1.0 and TOS 1.2 (and if the FAST option is set for TOS 1.4 also). This reduction in load to execution time is not just by making the files smaller, either. DC SQUISH actually has the same effect (and thus eliminates the need for) as the popular program PINHEAD! But on a file by file basis. Crunch or Pack don't offer this, just reduced file size. BTW - with the newest version of DC SQUISH (which Larry will be receiving free-of-charge) approaches the compaction of Pack (and beats it some times) while still being significantly faster! - mike -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Double Click Me | Double Click Software | P.O.
