   The origin of this restriction in Squish comes down to the Fidonet packet   
   formats, as the Zone field in some parts of Fidonet is only 1 byte, so it can   
   only be 0 - 255. To handle a zone above 255 you would need all the data   
   storage/handling formats to change as well, and that would depend heavily on   
   the software that you used.   
      
   One way you may be able to get Squish to work is to see if it can be made Zone   
   agnostic, IE see if you can get it to ignore Zones completely, but then you   
   would need to manage the Zone issue externally.
