Ah....  Sounds like SQHDR structure needed to be declared as a packed structure 
instead of adding SQHDR_SIZE.....  I expect will see other code issues like 
this as we get things cleaned up.....

Will the definition of SQHDR_SIZE work for both Unix based and MS-DOS based 
text?

 BS> Bob (or others), maybe we should make CVS snapshots of

Are you thinking of sharing a binary?

If we do, we need to bump the build number right before building the binary for 
release.  Also, with the corrections we've made to squish, we probably should 
bump the build number....

Take care.....
