ShrinkII will handle both "normal" (no resource fork) and extended files
as are commonly found under both P8 and GS/OS with no problems. I have
not yet found =ANY= file in aa NuFX (ShrinkIt) archive that ShrinkII
would not properly extract.
 
FWIW, I was one of the alpha and beta testers for ShrinkII, and infact
still do some occasional testing of various tweaks to it :) Oh, ShrinkII
is 100% 68000 clean code, so it works great on old "fishtank" Macs, which
are both cheap and make great IIgs peripherals :)
