not me!

I don't think so...I've never seen a SQUISHED file that
wasn't from the Interex CSL.

Hard to say.

I'd recommend you look at the free LZW from Telamon
(for compressing/packaging multiple files)
and Disc Storage Manager (?) from Solution-Soft (for
compressing individual files in-place on a 3000)
