        Actually, .BQY is an older format than SHK.  The .BQY and .BNY were
common extensions in the days of BLU, the Binary II Library Utility.  A .BQY
file consisted of one or more .QQ (Huffman compressed, I think) files within
a Binary II "wrapper."  A .BNY file was simply a Binary II file, containing
one or more files.

        In contrast to BLU's way of compressing several files, and then using
them as the several items in a Binary II file, ShrinkIT creates a single NuFX
file, and then places that single file in a Binary II wrapper, as a .BXY file.
