'''Quasijarus Strong Compression''' refers to a compressed file format associated with the Quasijarus Project and 4.3BSD-Quasijarus (a Unix operating system). Files can be created using that system's version of the <code>compress</code> utility, with the <code>-s</code> option.

The format is modeled after [[compress (Unix)|compress]] and [[Gzip]]. It can be converted to Gzip without decompressing it.
