     Seems like I've heard of one or two Mac programs which will handle .shk
files-- one, I think, is Balloon. I do no know how compatible Mac-produced .shk
files are with Apple II or how reliably Mac unshrinks A2 .shk files.

     Mac-produced self-extracting archives do not auto-unshrink on an Apple
IIgs-- which sort of figures, since an .sea file includes executable unshrinker
code. And, Mac Balloon-created .shk files are not always GS-ShrinkIt compatible;
but, they do seem to be GS-Balloon 2 compatible.

     Someone who has done a lot of Apple2<-->Mac work would know a lot more about
using/creating .shk files on a Mac.
