ZSQ (LZW compression)
From Just Solve the File Format Problem
Revision as of 02:55, 28 December 2023 by Dexvertbot (Talk | contribs)
ZSQ is a file compression utility developed by Wayne Chin and Arvind Kumar. It describes itself as "File Squeezer using LZW compression algorithm". The companion decompression utility is ZUSQ.
ZSQ might have been a contestant in the race to make a usable format based on LZWCOM, but lost to ARC and Crunch. It uses the same file naming pattern as Crunch.
Identification
Files apparently start with ASCII "WACK".
Software
- ZSQUSQ.ZIP - ZSQ v1.0 and ZUSQ v1.0 (DOS software)
