   This is a reminder to those who'll malign GSHK: I have yet to be
given a file (or location on ftp site of one) that GSHK 1.1 running
under Sys 6.0.1 barfs on, while Shrink-It 3.4 does fine on. On _MY_
machine. (I cannot debug your machine. Deal with that :)

   One file was mentioned as being 'bad', but when I downloaded it
to a ProDOS partition on my system, GSHK unpacked it just great.
Given that I don't trust the HFS FST any further than Windoze 0.95,
I don't use HFS when looking out for non-HFS FST bugs. [I'll get
around to that can of worms shortly]

   I'll check out bugs in GSHK/Shrinkit, but please make sure (1) They
are repeatable, and (2) HFS was not involved.
