|Wha'?  I thought it meant it was a BinSCII file (.bsc) that contained a

.bsq is indeed a binscii file that contains a ShrinkIt file.
A binary II squeezed file has an extension of .bqy (.bny + .qq)
Personally, I would have preferred .bsk for a Binscii'd Shrunk file, but
I guess .bsq sounds pretty close :-)
