While I think I understand what you want for file box support, it might not be 
as simple as you think.  The current squish can be setup to append compressed 
mail bundles, and also to limit mail bundle sizes.  Since I've only had limited 
experience with file box support (as implemented in BinkD), I don't see how 
know eactaly how the (to me) arbitrary file box directory naming is supposed to 
work.....  That could cause a problem for squish.....

As to the perl hooks, I don't know what you would want them to do.  

Please take this conversation to the TUB echo for further discussion of Squish. 
 I don't know of any version of Binkley that supports filebox support (or I 
haven't used Binkley in that way and have forgotten Bink's support of such), so 
I don't think this is an appropriate discussion to continue here.  If 
BinkleyTerm does support it, please point me to the options that take advantage 
of fileboxes.

Yup.....

Squish is also good enough for a hub, especially when used with BinkleyTerm for 
a mailer.

Take care.....
