How to Obtain Squisher

Downloading

Since the MPE programs you download from the CSL web page are in the squisher format, you will need to also have a copy of the program squisher itself in order to ultimately use your download.

Squisher is available for downloading in 2 formats

As a WRQ Reflection label file, ex. - squisher.rfl
As a binary image of the program file itself, ex. - squisher.bin

If you have the reflection product, download the reflection format.
