the renaming the file could work, that is what i was figuring was
happening with uploading it to a filehost.  i would use ADP Pro if i
had the money to buy the cables and the USB adapter, but i dont at
the minute.

Shrinkit didn't want to do anything with the sdk or SHK files if i
didn't fix the filetype, it would show a error.

so far i did find a few programs stored in a shk and sdk formats so at
least i have something to run right now. the one game i really wanted
Dungeon Master i found in a shk format and made a disk with that. 

i am getting better working with ciderpress i now can move files into
a created 2mg file. if the extension renaming works i will be able to
get them to work.

its been crazy learning how to work the IIgs and its files. but i
still have allot to learn. I am now balled from all the hair pulling
on getting everything working. but it is fun at the same time
learning about it.
