Before Squish, open storage formats for FidoNet and Bulletin Board messages were relatively slow and inefficient. The primary functions of the Squish application in a FidoNet system are to: | |||
| * Unpack incoming mail archives. | |||
| * Examine and sort incoming mail, and either: | |||
| *# Store it in the appropriate local message bases for later reading by a BBS user or a FidoNet mail reading application. | |||
| *# Place it into an outgoing mail archive, if addressed to another system. | |||
| * Examine mail being sent from a FidoNet system, and attach routing information to each message. | |||
| * Archive outgoing messages appropriately, for archives to be later transferred by independent FidoNet mailer software. | |||

| In ], the source code for Squish was released under the ], in the same code-base as the Maximus BBS software. It has since been ported to run under ], and other ] operating systems. | |||
