Re: Shrink Files

["John Zielke" <jzielke@nospam.qquest.com>]

What you can do is use the Bernie Apple GS Emulator.  It uses the floppy on
the Mac as a 3.5 drive in the emulator. You can run GSShrink and create the
floppy.  I just did it last night.  There is a Hard Drive Img on GS Fairway
I think it has GSshrink installed. There is also a Binascii and GSHrink IMG
also on the FTP sites if the hard drive image does not have it. Run that in
the emulator and create all the 3.5 disks you need.

If the image is of DiskCopy type image, then you can have that create
floppies.
