     There's the Vulcan Mind Meld with your IIgs; but, details on that
process are sketchy.

     If your Mac has some way to create .zip files, you could squish the .2MG
files down to a size that may fit on an 800k diskette. On the IIgs, PMPunZIP
will unzip most standard .zip files to some larger medium-- like a hard disk
or large RAM disk.

     The same basic idea may work for Mac-created .shk files. (Use ShrinkIt
or the Balloon NDA to uncompress the .shk files.)
