Look around on ground for a file that looks something like shrinkit.exe
or gsshrinkit.exe (I'm not sure of the exact titles) These are two
programs called Shrinkit and GS-Shrinkit that will decode (expand)
the .shk files you see there.  The .exe. files should execute (they
are self-expanding archives) after you have transferred them to the 
GS  and become the aforementioned shrinkit files.
