Actually, in the "old days" of CP/M and MS-DOS, there were
separate programs for making libraries (*.LBR files made 
by LU) and squeezing files (*.?Q? files made by SQ and
unsqueezed via NUSQ).  Therefore, you only need LU to 
access a *.LBR library file, but you need both to access
a *.LQR squeezed library file.  The initial innovation of
ARC was putting both of there functions into one integrated
program.
