Wayne's exactly right.  Mac OS adds a resource fork to files you write to a
ProDOS disk.  You need to either use GS-ShrinkIt to unpack the files (it can
handle forked files), or use a utility on the Apple II that will strip the
resource fork off the file before feeding it to your 8-bit ShrinkIt program.
