SQUOZE

This article is about a compression scheme. For the similarly named transponder code in aeronautics, see Squawk code.

SQUOZE (abbreviated as SQZ) is a memory-efficient representation of a combined source and relocatable object program file with a symbol table on punched cards which was introduced in 1958 with the SCAT assembler[1][2] on the SHARE Operating System (SOS) for the IBM 709.[3][4] A program in this format was called a SQUOZE deck.[5][6][7] It was also used on later machines including the IBM 7090 and 7094.
