If you can unshrink .shk files containing IIe programs but cannot
do the same for .shk files containing IIGS programs, that means
only one thing.  You are trying to use IIe ShrinkIt! to unshrink
IIGS .shk program archives.  Many times this does not work
because IIe ShrinkIt! cannot extract the resource forks of these
files.  GS/OS program and data files often contain resource
forks.  They are needed for the way GS/OS works.  You probably
already know about them from your Macintosh.  The GS works
in a similar way.
