Someone should probably replace this .squfile file with a .tar.z file.  
(compressed with gzip)  gzip is at least public domain, so anyone can get  
it and use it.  It is also command line driven.  By the way, here are the  
compression comparisons:

69929 ModPlayer_V2.5.tar.Z
44327 ModPlayer_V2.5.tar.squfile
38541 ModPlayer_V2.5.tar.z

So gzip gives the maximum compression.  If one is going to be forced to  
get an uncompression utility to read something from an archive, I think it  
better to have to get gzip rather than UnSquashOnly.
