Run the Terminal application which should open a window
at the $ prompt type
/Applications/afsctool (assuming you put afsctool in the applications folder)

Thumbs up Get Squeeze - 03-19-2010, 02:39 AM

Squeeze is a background file compressor, which uses the new HFS-compression technology in Snow Leopard to transparently compress the folders you configure it to process. Mac OS will read those files normally, they will just take less disk space.

How does it work? Just select some folders to compress and Squeeze will silently work in the background to compress the files contained on those folders, regaining disk space. Whenever you use any of those files, Snow Leopard will read it like any other file in the system - it will simply take less space.

Grab Squeeze now and see for yourself. The demo version will allow you to gain up to 50MB of space.


Silent, works like magic. Download, install and forget about it. Compressed files still work even if you uninstall Squeeze.
Unobtrusive, uses spare resources. You always have your machine available when necessary.
Save space, no catch - Squeeze compresses, Mac OS reads files as always.
See results: use the menu item, or check on the preference pane - you will always know how much Squeeze has saved.
Total control - pause Squeeze when you need all your Mac resources.
Compress everything, or just a bit - select the folders you want.
Version 1.1 - 03/08/10
