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
