> Whatever the heck that is. SQUISH was a database format for storing messages in FidoNet systems. Originally designed by Scott Dudley as part of Maximus, the format was eventually widely used because of its speed and relatively efficient design compared to other message-store formats. Squish was also an application of the same name for processing messages in and out of Squish message stores and a standard FidoNet inbound/outbound transport directory structure used by such applications as BinkleyTerm from BitBucket Software. BinkleyTerm had an unusual license -- it was Public Domain and you were pretty much free to do as you pleased with it -- with the only caveat being that if you broke it you owned both halves.
