    Can someone tell me, or show me where to look, for the meanings of such
    file extensions as *.AQM, *.DQC, *.MQC, *.FQX, *.IQF, *.TQT, *.HQP,
    *.OQT, *.FQB, *.LQT, and *.DQR.  All of these file extensions show up
    on binary files.  Is there a standard that these follow??

On files in the MICRO:<CPM.x> directory on SIMTEL20 the "Q" results
when SQ (the Hoffman file squeezer) has been used on the file.  Just
imagine what the missing letter is and you'll have a good idea what
the file is.  You'll need USQ (the unsqueezer) to restore them to the
original form before they can be read.

DQC=DOC, MQC=MAC, FQX=FIX, IQF=INF, TQT=TXT, HQP=HLP, LQT=LST, DQR=DIR.

The OQT and FQB are special cases.  Those resulted when .OCT and .FEB
(the month of the newsletter in question) were squeezed.
