Bouwkamp codes of all simple perfect squared rectangles of orders from 9 to 16, and Bouwkamp codes of all perfect squared squares of orders from 21 to 24 (and some of orders from 25 to 27.) A brief explanation of the Bouwkamp code and squared rectangles is here. Also, the program I used to produce the squared rectangles is available as a shar file (66K), a compressed tar file (18K), or a zip file (19K). It is distributed under the GNU GPL.
