     An alternative download site for Shrinkit v3.4 is Ground at ...

ftp://ground.ecn.uiowa.edu/apple2/useful.stuff/ .

The file is Shrink.exe . Here is a snip from the FAQS which includes directions:

Getting 8-bit ShrinkIt

From: Beverly Cadieux

     The easiest way to get the current (3.4) version of 8-bit ShrinkIt going is via
the self-extracting archive, SHRINK.EXE.

o- Download the file, (transfer to your Apple II if necessary,) and get into
AppleSoft BASIC (run BASIC.SYSTEM and get to the AppleSoft "]" prompt).

o- Be sure to set the ProDOS PREFIX to the location of SHRINK.EXE on your Apple II.
For example, if it is in the main directory of volume HD1, you would enter

PREFIX /HD1

o- Now, enter -SHRINK.EXE (that's a dash, then the file name):

-SHRINK.EXE

     Shrinkit will self-extract, along with a documentation file. (ShrinkIt v3.4
consists of two files. One is a small start file which may be named
"Shrinkit.System", "ShrinkitST.sys", or something similar. The other is the main
program file which must be named "Shrinkit".)
