I wrote squeeze many years ago and compiled it for SCO Unix and 
DOS.  I can't seem to find the original source code but it was rather 
trivial to write,  I just have no interest in doing so again.  The 
original source code was to be published in John Esak's Guru magazine 
and was given to JP to review before publication.  JP might you still 
have a copy of the source?
