High-density systems of hard parallel squares and cubes enclosed in rigid containers are considered. Evaluation of the exact volume-dependence of the configurational integral shows that such systems obey the free-volume equation of state. Low order deviations from the free-volume theory, found by Salsburg and Wood in an analogous calculation for hard circles and spheres, are not found for squares and cubes.
