QUAD 1.12

DESCRIPTION
QUAD is a high-performance file compressor that utilizes an advanced
LZ-based compression algorithm. Its main features are high compression
ratio and fast decompression speed.

USAGE EXAMPLES
To compress ‘test.txt’ to ‘test.txt.quad’ using normal compression
mode:

    quad test.txt

To decompress:

    quad -d test.txt.quad

Also note you can optionally specify an output file name:

    quad -d test.txt.quad test.doc

In addition to the normal compression mode, QUAD has a max mode
which provides higher compression at the cost of some compression time.
Note that decompression time and memory usage in this case stay the
same as with normal mode. Therefore, if you have some spare time for
higher compression, use the max compression mode.

To compress ‘test.txt’ using max compression mode:

    quad -x test.txt
