No, I haven't, until I saw your posting :) But, I looked at the source code
of Ballon (the unshrink Finder Extension by GS+): It is not trivial, and
parts of the source are in Assembler. I could use some of the code, but
the LZW algorithm is copyrighted by Unisys, and one has to ask them before
using it (and pay them too, I'm afraid).
So I don't think I will do a ShrinkIt decoder, sorry.
