Hmmm... a theory, which I have not tried.
1) create/format a blank disk with your emulator
2) download a .shk from ground or caltech onto your PC hard drive
3) use AppleWin (or whichever other emulator will do it) to copy the
   file from your PC hard drive to the blank/formatted disk image
4) fire up the emulator and run ShrinkIt from the emulator to get it to
   decompress the .shk file.

Query:  does Asimov have ShrinkIt?  It must... Actually, I guess caltech
or ground must have it in executable format somewhere.

Never heard of ADT.  What does it do?

Hope my theory works for you, then!
