I move that we start using .BNS for 'binscii/shrinkit' files considering that .BSQ was a popular subfix for Binary II squeezed files. It's a real pain the behind trying to decifer all the compression formats and having two different formats using the same subfix really screws things up. I know there aren't alot of binary II squeezed files on FTP sites (if any) but there are some floating around on local BBSs. Anyone second this? Anyone think I'm nuts? (maybe I souldn't have asked that) ---------------------------------------- BITNET-- mquinn@utcvm <------------send files here pro-line-- mquinn@pro-gsplus.cts.com
