I've downloaded this utility and am going to try it out.  I'll let you know how
the results go shortly.  I'm hopeful.

I've downloaded Shrinkit several times and still can't get it to work.  I
un-Binscii it on my mac (with a Mac utility to do such things  :-)  but the //e
loads ProDOS and says "Cannot load file."  As I said, I'll let you know in a bit
whether or not it works.

I can't get Catakig to work.  It needs a runtime library that I either can't find
or can't get to work.  I'm looking for XGS, but the page is offline right now.
