Greg, kindly put that namecalling voice aside.  Just because someone
(me in this case) takes the time to answer someone's question does
not mean I am trying to put on airs or what...

I've run the four files through 8-bit unbinscii and it worked, so what's
the big deal?  The original archive of GS Shrinkit itself IS NOT an
extended file...8-bit unbinscii handles it FINE...what's the big deal? He
never said he did not have 8-bit unbinscii...if he didn't, I would have
pointed him in the right direction.  Come to think of it, he never said
he didn't have Protype either!

Hint: WAIT for the person asking the question to reply BEFORE you
flame the person answering the question for getting it wrong!

(If you remain concerned, you can always make a Disk Copy image
of a disk containing the GS Shrinkit program and put it on the ground
ftp server...that'll solve Mac users' problems for good!)
