    As far as the files I find on FTP sites like tybalt, the .bsq extension 
means ShrinkIt+Binscii.  I've never actually seen *just* a SQueezed file 
(Binary II, yes, but not SQZ'd).  I'm quite happy with =.bsq for 
ShrinkIt+Binscii, =.bxy for ShrinkIt+BinaryII and =.shk for just plain NuFX 
archives.  Someone proposed =.sdk from shrunk disks, but it doesn't look 
like that caught on (it wouldn't work if someone mixed files and disks in 
the same archive, for instance).
