Are Squash's file formats (and compression algorithms) publicly known?
Is there a way to unSquash files from the command line?
Is there an unSquasher that runs on anything other than a 680x0 NeXT?

tar & compress pass those criteria.  So do many other compression
and archiving utilities.

Trusting one's data to a proprietary (and unique) scheme strikes
me as incredibly foolish.  Using it for software distribution is
questionable at best.
