Hello All!

Does anyone have a version of Squish that will run under Windows 10 that would be willing to share it?

Run a 32 bit version of Windows in a VM and use the current DOS release. Not sure if anyone has even tried to compile a native 64-bit version of it.

I am running Win10 Pro 64 bit and sq386n.exe works just fine without an
type of VM.

Fred -- search for that version of squish. I don't have a distribution
file on my BBS, but it should be available on many BBSes.

I've searched for it using WWW search engimes and also in the FidoNet FILEFIND echo. No luck with either one. If you (or anyone else here) find it, please let me know where.

I've not heard of a 64-bit Squish but I guess it could be out there. The only person I can find talking about it is Dale. <G>

As I said, I do not have a distribution file for squish64 anymore.
Hopefully someone here might be able to help you.

[edit] Sorry, but the name of the file I use is not squish64. It is sq386n.exe, and does work on my 64 bit machine. I should have looked up
that file name before.

What I am using is a version of squish that works on 64 bit machine.
The actual exe name is sq386n.exe.

No problem, Dale. You confirmed that what I needed existed, that was a big step. The archive name was squish_n.zip

I was able to get it running here without it barfing on my .cfg file

I gave up on Guru. After setting up an account, the only thing it did for me was check for my mail and hang.

I am glad that you were now able to find it, and got it running.

I am having no luck in finding that archive. Would you be able to
send that to me? I am going to be putting a Max/Squish pagr on my
BBS website and would like to offer that.

Thanks,
Sean

Are you still running IREX with that non-standard configuration? If so, you will have to come and get it.
