When you get your IIGS, you can bypass the Mac.  The IIGS
with an SCSI controller can read and write Mac HFS hard
drives.  Thus, save to Mac 40 meg SCSI drive with Mac
emulator on PC a bunch of bxy and shk files.  Take drive to
IIGS.  Connect to SCSI controller.  Boot GS/OS.  Mac drive
shows up in Finder.  Run ShrinkIt! GS.  Extract files right
on the Mac hard drive.  Possibly even RUN the extracted
programs ON the Mac hard drive.
