If you have enough ram create an 800k ram disk in the control panel, 
format it with the finder, then GShk-unshrink the disk image to the ram 
disk. Another possibility, if you only have one floppy drive and not 
enough ram for an 800k ram disk is to partition your hard drive to 
include one 800k partition. Then you can use that partition to 
GShk-unshrink the disk image. One caveat, if you do decide to 
re-partition your harddrive then make sure you offload/backup all your 
files first to restore later. Otherwise you'll destroy everything on the 
drive.
