<P STYLE="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><FONT FACE="MS Sans Serif" SIZE="2">For Binary II archives, this holds a guess at whether the file is stored uncompressed or "squeezed".&nbsp; There is no 100% reliable way to determine if a file stored in Binary II was squeezed, so a quick examination of the file contents is used to determine the status.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><FONT FACE="MS Sans Serif" SIZE="2">For disk archives, the name of the file system is shown.&nbsp; This is done to emphasize that files with the same file type may be structurally different on different file systems.&nbsp; For example, DOS text files use ASCII characters with the high bit set, while ProDOS text files leave the high bit unset.</FONT></P>
