Boy, I sure disagree here.  Shk is so much easier to use that dsk images.
Dsk's esp. prodos dsk often do not work
 
But maybe you are looking at it from the point of view of an emulator.  I
rarely use emulators.  I open these things on a //gs or a //e.  So shk is so
much great.  Shrinkit is a great program by a great programmer.  It has stood
the test of time.
 
Many of the people asking about these dsk's are using an apple, not an
emulator.  So the Tarnover site is GREAT for them.
